Please, execute sudo mount -a
Have you created a /mnt/storj by the way?
If not, please do it:

sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb1
22

mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ sudo mount -a
mount: /mnt/sdb1: mount point does not exist.
mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$

23

Yes, you need to create it

sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb1

Then

sudo mount -a
24

Do you have an access?

ls /mnt/sdb1

If not, depending on how you would run your docker node - with sudo or without - you can change the owner of the disk to your current user (in case of not using sudo).
Since you tried without sudo, I can assume that you added your current user to the docker group.
In this case you can create a folder for your storagenode on the disk and change the owner to your user:

sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb1/storagenode
sudo chown mario /mnt/sdb1/storagenode

Now please, check it:

echo 1 > /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt
cat /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt
rm /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt

There should not be any error.

28

mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ ls /mnt/sdb1
config.yaml lost+found storage
mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$

29

looks like i have access …do i run the other commands?

30

Did you have running that node earlier? I see the storage and config.yaml

31

mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ echo 1 > /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt
bash: /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt: No such file or directory
mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ cat /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.tx
cat: /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.tx: No such file or directory
mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ rm /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt
rm: cannot remove ‘/mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt’: No such file or directory

32

no i didnt have it running earlier

33

You didn’t create a /mnt/sdb1/storagenode, you missed a command

mkdir /mnt/sdb1/storagenode

But you have folder storage and config file there. Then please, remove them:

rm -rf /mnt/sdb1/storage
rm /mnt/sdb1/config.yaml
34

mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ rm -rf /mnt/sdb1/storage
rm: cannot remove ‘/mnt/sdb1/storage’: Permission denied

35

mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ rm -rf /mnt/sdb1/storage
rm: cannot remove ‘/mnt/sdb1/storage’: Permission denied
mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ rm /mnt/sdb1/config.yaml
rm: remove write-protected regular file ‘/mnt/sdb1/config.yaml’? yes
mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$

36 
sudo rm -rf /mnt/sdb1/storage

If the test with new folder /mnt/sdb1/storagenode went ok, you can setup your node:

docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" \
--mount type=bind,source=/home/mario/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode,destination=/app/identity \
--mount type=bind,source=/mnt/sdb1/storagenode,destination=/app/config \
--name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest
37

mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ /mnt/sdb1/storagenode
bash: /mnt/sdb1/storagenode: Is a directory

38 
mkdir /mnt/sdb1/storagenode
echo 1 > /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt
cat /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt
rm /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt
39

mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ echo 1 > /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt
mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ cat /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt
1
mario@mario-System-Product-Name:~$ rm /mnt/sdb1/storagenode/1.txt

40

Ok, now you can setup the node

docker run --rm -e SETUP="true" \
--mount type=bind,source=/home/mario/.local/share/storj/identity/storagenode,destination=/app/identity \
--mount type=bind,source=/mnt/sdb1/storagenode,destination=/app/config \
--name storagenode storjlabs/storagenode:latest
