If not then it will not work with 1.1.0. Soon new version will be released which can detect drives without file system table.
Yes, it does. It has a partition. It function perfectly if I mount it (it is created as /dev/sdb), but if I try to reformat it, it does not appear in the device list.

Then partition will be exactly in /dev/sdb, not in /dev/sdb1. Could you try to compile latest version from git. Either master (KF5 based) or 1.1 branch (KDELibs4 based) and see if it happens there because there were some related fixes. I am going to release new versions in the middle of February.
Should be fixed in new versions of partitionmanager that don't use Solid.
