Background: I use two USB3 DataTraveler USB sticks with one of my P4B's one of which is always plugged in, the other only when I'm backing up, usually via Unison. Today my backup failed because the backup drive which had been plugged in after boot appeared to be "read only" for the pi user, subsequently discovered to be, as far as the file manager was concerned "owned" by root.

DTG4V64GB is the drive plugged in after boot, KINGSTON is that plugged in "permanently".
If I boot with them both plugged in all is fine. Also the desktop shortcut shows ownership by pi. Has anyone else come across this "buglet"?
Trev.
Still running Raspbian Jessie or Stretch on some older Pi's (an A, B1, 2xB2, B+, P2B, 3xP0, P0W, 2xP3A+, P3B+, P3B, B+, and a A+) but Buster on the P4B's. See: https://www.cpmspectrepi.uk/raspberry_pi/raspiidx.htm
