Looks like a possibility, if this started when you ran an update of the
desktop, or changed some cinnamon/gnome settings. Play around with the auto-
mount USB drive options, to see if it corrects itself.
Thanks Michael,
I did not understand why an usb stick was automounted and not WD usb drive.
I saw the one was fat32 formatted and WD ext4.
So, i formatted fat32 another empty WD drive and it worked !
Last version of cinnamon could not automount ext4 drive ? That's weird.
Well, it's not so important and in can deal with it.
