[Bug 786261] Re: Can't mount floppy with "mount", but can with "udisks --mount"

[Kien Wai Wong]

This bug is not only on Lubuntu, but also on Ubuntu 11.04.

When double-click  the floppy-icon in Nautilus, the floppy-drive will
spin for a second en de access-LED on de drive just blink once. Then
nothing happens and de floppy is not mounted. Nautilus then says there
is no media in the drive...

The same is happen when using the command "mount /dev/fd0".

"udisks --mount /dev/fd0" works sometimes, but not always.

"dmesg" gives no messages/errors about de floppy-drive.

The floppy's i'm talking about, are de 1,44MB 3,5" disks. These are not
mainstream, but they are occasionally still used (bootdisk, data
exchange with older PC's).

I hope there will be a patch for this bug...

Bug description:
  Hi!

  I try mount my floppy diskette from terminal with command:
  >mount /dev/fd0
  My floppy drive blink green LED, spin diskette
  i goto /media/floppy0 and not see file...
  I see all mount device with
  >cat /etc/mtab
  and my diskette not mount :(

  I try mount with
  >mount /media/floppy0
  it spin distekke and LED blink again... but it not mount too :(

  Usually if diskette bad or i print wrong command the "mount" programm
  (/bin/mount) print error, but in my case "mount" (/bin/mount) end work
  with out errors (like all fine)

  I try mount with 
  >udisks --mount /dev/fd0
  and it mount good - i see my file on diskette and see 
  "/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,utf8,user=user 0 0"
  in /etc/mtab

  How i can mount my floppy with "mount" (/bin/mount) ?

  My /etc/fstab file contain
  +++
  /dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
  +++

  PS:
  Command 
  >umount /dev/fd0
  work fine
