I got an MintBox Mini 2 Pro with 20.2 Cinnamon.
About once a day a USB-stick is un-mounted and then mounted again. I suppose that anyway. I notice it by Nemo starts and shows the content on the stick.
Sometime I see this when waking up from screensaver, sometimes when working/browsing and so.
The stick is placed in a USB-hub and the hub is connected to one USB3-port.
Another USB-stick in a another port in hub as well as the first USB-stick placed directly to the other USB3-port gives same issue.
Or issue - it is by now just annoying. I use the stick just as a external drive for screenshots and other temporary files.
There have been several kernel updates since this started. I really don't know when this happens first. The first time I think just connection issue or bad/poor/old USB-stick.
I got some "history" to tell but to not mislead by this, I'm awaiting to tell until someone got an theory about my problem.

We don't need history.
The problem is likely to be the hub. Isolate it from the problem by plugging your flash drives directly into the machine. If the problem persists then we have something to talk about.

Re: USB-sticks random re-mount
As Kadaitcha Man correctly said, unplug the hub, then plug a USB in and see if the problem still exists. We have to eliminate the hub as part of the problem.
