I also ran the few additional test:

1) Two USB drives with different name / USB drive: I got the expected result (only the first USB drive files were accessible)

2) Two USB drives with same name / USB drive: I got the same problematic result as this bug

3) The first USB drive has name and shared with Linux. I then eject the drive and insert a 2nd USB drive does not have name. At this point I do not have access to the 2nd USB drive. I then rename the USB drive as the same name as the 1st USB drive. From the same terminal window, I still don't have access. But after I shutdown Linux and restart Linux, I have access of 2nd USB again

Working as intended.  FilesApp and crostini can only identify a USB by its name/label/path.  If any 2 drives have no label, or the same label, then either will automatically share if the user has registered a share for that path.

this might be useful to FAQ (...somewhere...)
