my flash drives somehow got mounted as network shares--I think

I seem to have a little problem I've never seen before; I must have caused it by some error, but I have no idea how. My two backup flash drives appear to be mounted twice, once in the correct location and once as..."connected"--uh, does that mean the system thinks they're network shares? Sorry, I barely know whether that's the correct term. Screenshots attached.

The only practical problem so far is that the backup schedule in Luckybackup is disrupted: Luckybackup kept saying the flash drives weren't mounted, when they were. I finally unmounted and remounted them, and that allowed backing up to proceed when I manually started the backups. Whatever caused the flash drives to show as "connected" in Thunar, I keep trying to disconnect them (without knowing what they're even connected to), but as you can see in screenshot #2, it won't let me disconnect them--"operation not permitted." I don't know whether I'll have to do that all over again the next time I reboot and everything gets mounted.

I did edit fstab recently. I don't know of any error I could make there that would cause this, but if anyone would like to see it:

I have never used NFS, but I know that, with Samba shares, sharing configuration is done in /etc/samba/smb.conf and the shared directories must set as shared in the directory permissions. /etc/fstab does not come into play other than to ensure that the partition is properly mounted.

Have you tested to see whether you can connect to the partitions over your network?
