It's Superuser shell actually, not Supervisor/Executive one.

Something has mounted your device elsewhere already.
A usual thing with the modern desktop environments.
Check the output of "mount" and "df -Th" and /dev/sdb1 will probably be
there. I'd like to see the output of these commands too, btw.

If these are the full contents of /etc/fstab, it's incorrect.
In addition to the mountpoint you should specify a block device (or its
equivalent), filesystem type, mount points, dump/pass and that's the
least.

I.e. this line is wrong:

/media/myusb

This line is correct:

/dev/sdb1 /media/usb auto defaults,nofail 0 0

"nofail" is really needed for removable devices, because whoever
designed systemd made an "interesting" decision to halt the boot process
(i.e. host is inaccessible by network, console access only) even if a
single filesystem mentioned in fstab fails to mount.
You may want to add "noauto" as well, see fstab(5).
