Bug description

The only way to fix this that I have found is:
Open Disks -> Additional partition options -> Edit mount options... -> Disable User Session Defaults

Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the intermittent mount failure on Mint 22 with a Ventoy USB drive after using it on another device, then compare the default mount behavior with User Session Defaults disabled. Done means the drive mounts normally without changing that setting.
