"eject /dev/fd0" or "floppycontrol --eject /dev/fd0" is now necessary to stop the disk spinning and then the floppy can be ejected mechanically as it is not software-controlled. > > The bug is therefore caused by creating the device with the wrong > > group. > [...] > > I think that's a separate bug that exacerbates an underlying driver bug. > This report should be reassigned to package "udev" or if a subject change is necessary be closed(?). I will then issue a new report to "udev". The bug (regression) can be fixed in the file "/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules. The (block) devices "/dev/fd[0-9]" shall be (as before) in the group "floppy" as a write-permission is necessary to spin the drive down. -- Bjarni I.
