Thank you for your attention to this bug report. It had been so long since I submitted the report that I upgraded to Lubuntu 18.04.1 in the interim. Since Lubuntu uses File Manager PCManFS rather than Nautilus, [CODE] gvfs -li [/CODE] will only return [CODE] gvfs: command not found [/CODE]. Since this is a production machine, I can't reinstall Ubuntu 16.04 with Unity just for troubleshooting at this late date. PCManFS has not renamed any of my external HDD file partitions in 18.04.1; perhaps this was an aberration caused by the last updates to the end-of-life-for-Unity-based 16.04 OS. Thank you again for your time.
