That is not the case at all. Without a partition table how wo

If you want to run "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1" then first you must create a
partitio
Yes, you are right.
doing "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1" worked, but I could only manually mount,
for automount it has to be entire partition "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda"

"mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda" will create/format an ext4 partition taking up the
entire device, which will then easily be automounted.
"mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda1" can work, but only if you have already created a
partition table on /dev/sda and created at least one partition

I think you're correct that if something is automounting your USB st

You can format the whole thing (/dev/sda) as one big ext4 volume, yes, but
unless I'm very mistaken, that's not standard
It was my error, the command should be:
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda
The usb was auto-mounted as soon as the command finished.
It has been some time since I run it, but looking at some documentation
on-line a lot of instructions show to run:
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX1
