While I haven't had specifically the same issue, I have indeed had plenty of
various issues when leaving USB things connected and rebooting. In general, USB
is absolute garbage. It's barely fine for HID (keyboard, mouse, etc). It's
definitely improved over the years, but improved garbage is still just that.
USB-C is almost getting there, adding a lot of features but I dunno if it's
improved in leaps and bounds in stability/reliability. Anyway, my suggestion is
not to expect USB drives and other complex devices not to goober your USB
thingson reboot. Janky busses, janky OSes, janky drivers.. not a great
combination. Unplug, reboot, replug. On unexpected reboot, pray.
