Hi to everybody,
I have a problem with my usb pen drive.
When I plug the pen into my usb port, linux find them very quickly and I
have discovered that my pen is emulated as scsi device with the dmesg
command. Also i found with cat /proc/scsi/usb-storage-0/0 ( or something
like that,I don't remember the exact path) that my pen is detected as
attached and is emulated as scsi1
" ok!" I have said, " let's mount it on sda1!"

But when I type
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb

linux say "not valid block device" ( or like this)

I have tried to type other device (sda2, sdb1 sdc...) but nothing has
happened.
All device that I have tried exist as node.

So where is my mistake?

My linux distribution is redhat 9.0
