Hi Giampiero,

     The line you show from your fstab looks ok.   Could the problem be 
another line in the fstab?    You don't have to reboot to test your
fstab entry.

after a change type:

mount /dev/hdb1

All the options will be read from your fstab and /dev/hdb1 will be mounted.
Any error messages when trying this will help.

Cheers,
Sean
