linux mount error: you must specify the filesystem type solution

Recently I met a problem in my work linux mount /dev/vdb to /home Partition times error:

# mount /dev/vdb /home
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

To perform: mkfs.ext3 /dev/vdb

# mkfs.ext3 /dev/vdb
mke2fs 1.41.12 (17-May-2010)

Writing inode tables: done 
Creating journal (32768 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 25 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

Then mount:

#mount -t ext3 /dev/vdb /home
