[ale] linux VM & iscsi array

My department recently bought an ISCSI array. We have a VMWare esx cluster 
and we'd like to set up a virtual file server to talk to the ISCSI array. 
I'm not in charge of the esx cluster. But I have created a debian squeeze 
virtual machine and the ISCSI array shows up as three 2Gb partitions.

It looks like I have to format these partitions before I can mount them. But 
its confusing to me because I thought the ISCSI hardware gave you a 
filesystem and mounting them would be like mounting an nfs partition.
