Ubuntu 18.04. I am trying to mount a usb hard drive. The fdisk output:

I have installed exfat-fuse and exfat-utils. When I try to mount, I get the following message:
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/usb-drive
mount: /media/usb-drive: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb, missing codepage or helper program, or other error.
If I specify exfat in particular
$ sudo mount /dev/sdb /media/usb-drive -t exfat
FUSE exfat 1.2.8
ERROR: exFAT file system is not found.
Is the filesystem not exFAT?
Moreover, when I try to look at it in gparted:

I am not sure what is going on. Any help would be appreciated.
