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.
