OK.
The posts above refer to one of my two assumed identical linux boxes - by which I mean that I asked my computer shop to provide two identical hardware specified units. The unit in the posts above refer to "linux01". The following refer to "linux02". I have a third unit "linuxtest", which is a 6 year old Acer Aspire laptop of different specs.
On linux02, using the same spec'd USB stick (daily03) as the one previously tried on linux01 (daily01) - both Kingston Data Traveller G4 16Gb rated as USB 3 and as Linux-compatible, and bought at the same time. On the same physical positioned USB port on linux02 this USB stick also errored and seemed to auto-dismount. Again, the connection is also using an extension cable which has been working fine on Windows 7 and 10 (different PCs to each other and the linux laptops).
So what's the same:-
linux01 and linux02 should be physically the same spec,
daily01 and daily03 are the same make and model of USB stick,
the same USB extension cable...
On the same physically located (USB3) port, not using the extension cable, both daily01 and daily03 usb sticks work just fine on both linux01 and linux02.
On the same physically located (USB2?) port on linux02, using the extension cable, the daily03 stick has now errored when writing files (and on that port location on linux01 the daily01 stick also errored as above).
The purist in me wants to try without the extension cable, just to rule that out. I get to daily02 - a third USB stick of this make and model also working fine on the USB3 port on both linux01 and linux02, on Sunday, so I will try that on the USB2(?) port without the extension cable.
In all cases, daily01 and daily03 are formatted by default to FAT. I'll double-check which version of FAT also.
If I recall, linuxtest (the Acer unit) has only USB2 ports, and they seemed to work fine on that; but I haven't tested as thoroughly.
I'm leaning to some kind of compatibility issue with the "faulty" USB port on both units - at least when attaching this make and model, and possibly any USB3, device. Maybe a driver issue?
The problem is minor for me, as the USB3 port works fine on both units, and I am happily able to double-up backups onto DVD-RW anyway. My main concern now is if the problem occurred and wiped by USB EHD drive(s). But if I could, with help, diagnose the problem, I suppose there is potential to help someone else down the line.
The error log for today's attempt on linux02 on the faulting USB port (via extension cable) on the daily03 stick is below. To my inexpert eye (with the Linux log, as yet), this looks subtly different to the error on daily01 on linux01 above. I welcome any thoughts:-

Don't worry about artificial intelligence. Worry about natural stupidity.
