This is the direct consequence for fixing floppies in the first place
(bug 441835). We have absolutely no way of poking the floppy controller
whether there is actually a floppy behind it, as this causes hard
freezes of about 20 seconds if there is none. Thus, we can either skip
floppies entirely (but see the very vocal arguments on bug 441835), or
show floppies if the BIOS tells us there is one.
Between a rock and a hard place, and I think the current behaviour is
better.
** Changed in: udisks2 (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Won't Fix
** Summary changed:
- Quantal Attempts To Mount Non-Existent Floppy Drive (if BIOS indicates there
might be one)
+ Quantal shows non-existent Floppy Drive (if BIOS indicates there might be one)
