Well, the solution for me is probably just a BAND-AID, but that’s OK with me.
Before allowing the drive to auto-mount when I click on it in Thunar ( like windows explorer ), I manually mount it with -->
mount /dev/sdb1 anyFolderYouHaveCreated
Now, the drive will be mounted with a name that is its label.
To find what your “sdb1” is, type “lsblk” ( without the "'s )
