# mkfs.ext4 -L LabelName /dev/sdb1)

It gives me this error: 

mkfs.ext4: invalid blocks 'LabelName' on device '–L'

I decided to split the command in to two: 

# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 
# mkfs -L LabelName /dev/sdb1

It worked.

@Peter,
To be honest, I had not noticed this before. What is the fdisk version currently installed on your CentOS 7 system?
