[Bug 593140] Re: Floppy drive stopped recognising media again

[Phillip Susi]

If you are still having this problem in 12.04+, please provide the
output of udisks --dump.  Also is this an internal floppy or a usb
floppy?

Title:
  Floppy drive stopped recognising media again

Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: util-linux

  Floppy media recognition was broken in 9.10
  This appeared to have been fixed in 10.04 (though I had to add this line to fstab:"/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0 0", and add a directory for the mount point)
  This worked for a while, but yesterday I had to read a floppy, and the system is again failing to recognize the media.
  Clicking on "Detect Media" in Nautilus spins the disk for a few seconds, but never lets me mount the disk.
  Disk Utility claims "No Media Detected".

  I was able to read the floppy on another Ubuntu system, that is a 32
  bit system that has bugs in the display driver, so it is pretty much a
  clean install since the display driver bugs make it unusable. I
  updated that system to the latest code before attempting to read the
  floppy.
