Using Marks method I did the mke2fs -j -L BackupDrive /dev/sdb1
However after a re-boot it still  shows as a FAT32 file system.  So what went wrong?  
The system booted fine and seems to be working right.  It mounts and after a chmod 777
I can write to it

[root at RHServer01 ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sdb

Apologies if this shows up twice on the board.  I hit reply before and
don't see the post after a few hours.  Mark if it went directly to your
email I am truly sorry.  It was not intentional, and I know not to send
email directly to you.
