It seems that actually the floppy format does not even allow for a
partition table so applying the partition checks to the disk makes no
sense. This looks to be a flaw in devkit-disks which triggers these
checks in 95-devkit-disks.rules, it is likely we should be excluding fd*
in the fragment below. Will take this up with devkit upstream.
# Probe for partition tables; this really should be part of udev
#
# skip rules for inappropriate block devices
KERNEL=="mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*", GOTO="probe_parttable_end"
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => In Progress
** Also affects: devicekit-disks (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

Linux thinks there’s a floppy drive when there’s not. Probing slows down bootup
by almost a minute.
