USB thumbdrive mounting problem
by EldonCool from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53D79)
I have one thumb drive that mounts different than the others.
This drive, whenever I plug it into a USB slot will then produce
3 icon targets on my display.
Other thumb drives will only produce one target. Example, if I plug
in a thumb drive with the name of PURPLE, an icon will show up on my
X window display that is idenified as PURPLE.
The problem drive is named KICK, but this one produces 3 icons when
plugged in, the icons are named--> KICK, 538 MB Voiume, 16 GB Volume.
I am using ubuntu 20.04, gdm3 the standard gnome window manager.
The offending usb drive is a PNY 16GB.
None of my other thumbdrives do this, they all just produce one icon.
I have tried reformatting the drive, both with windows format
and linux format programs, and still get the problem.
Can anyone explain this?
