[Bug 384579] Re: Linux thinks there’s a floppy drive when there’s not. Probing slows down bootup by almost a minute.

[Andy Whitcroft]

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
