Sorry for the Italian ;-)

anyway your point 2 sorted out to be fine. If I mount /dev/sda instead 
of /dev/sda1 everything is o.k.
I suppose that all modifications of previous posts related to fstab 
should replace sda1 with sda.....i.e:

/dev/sda /mnt/flash auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

and for autounting no problem, as sda/sda1 are not mentioned!!!!
Tnx everybody for help
