HI,
This is my first mail to this mailing list.I want to block external
usb storage completly on my server running on centos 5 having
confidiential data.
For that i used udev and blocked the external usb storage by creating
the udev rule mentioning any usb storage will get mounted to
/dev/null so that users cant mount as well.
But in the mean time i am getting below logs in my /var/log/messages
file when i insert any usb storage device.

Why do you want to block? Why not rather disallow users to use the mount
command altogether? If it's a server, why do you have normal users
accessing it?
