It was my error, the command should be:
mkfs.ext4 /dev= /sda
The=C2=A0usb was auto-mounted as soon as the command fin= ished.

It has been some time since I run it, but l= ooking at some documentation on-line a lot of instructions show to run:
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX1

eg:
Even Google = AI if one search: "gentoo format usb as ext4"
it shows = to run:
sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb1

= this will work but the disk will not automount in XFCE,=C2=A0
it should be:
sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdX

I think= you're correct that if something is automounting your USB storage devi= ce, it's probably XFCE (or some part of it).
I don't personally use XFCE, but I'm sure = others here probably do. If you don't get any responses on this mailing= list, then perhaps try the #gentoo-xfce IRC channel. If that's also qu= iet, you might try another venue that focuses specifically on XFCE, such as= the official XFCE links at https://www.xfce.org/community .
