If you want to run "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1" then first you must create a
partition label (e.g DOS, GPT) and add a partition on the device using fdisk,
parted, etc. The mkfs command will error out complaining about /dev/sda1 not
found or something like that.
If the device has no partitions on it, then "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda" is what you
have to run. It will format an ext4 fs on the whole device, like a floppy
disk.
