Thanks,
as sda1, vfat now it works......

What I do is:
modprobe usb-storage
mount -t usbdevfs devusb /proc/bus/usb
mount /dev/sda1  (I added /dev/sda1     /mnt/usbflash     vfat    
noauto,user,mask=022,exec  in fstab)

But only root can do that.....
How can a normal user do that?

Thanks.
Bye Luca
