[Bug 554700] [NEW] I can't mount my floppy drive anymore since one of the last online updates

[Werner Holtfreter]

Public bug reported:

Like bug 481184 I could never mount my floppy by the GUI, I could it
mounting only by the terminal. Since one of the last online updates this
did not work anymore:


werner at zuse:~$ sudo mount -v /dev/fd0 /mnt/
[sudo] password for werner: 
mount: Es wurde kein Dateisystemtyp für /dev/fd0 angegeben
       Werde den Typ vfat versuchen   #translation: Will try type vfat
/dev/fd0 on /mnt type vfat (rw)


It seems to be mounted, no message in the logs, but it is not mounted:


werner at zuse:~$ sudo umount /dev/fd0
umount: /dev/fd0 ist nicht eingehängt   #translation: ...is not mounted


2010-04-02 I installed 3 online updates:

   devicekit-disks 007-2ubuntu5 -> 007-2ubuntu6
   tzdata 2010e-0ubuntu0.9.10 -> 2010g-0ubuntu0.9.10
   tzdata-java 2010e-0ubuntu0.9.10 -> 2010g-0ubuntu0.9.10

The first program seems to be relevant - and bingo, I can mount my
floppy in a terminal.

But after the next reboot, mounting is impossible again.

Last but not least: It's not a hardware problem, I can mount after boot
debian lenny.
