100 /var/lib/
I am using an IBM Thinkpad T42 laptop without any floppy drive.
After upgrading to latest level as of Sat Jun 6, next reboot time was seriously degraded due to a regular attempt to use the non-existent floppy drive.
After look at /var/log/dpkg.log, trying to downgrade, I finally traced this back to devkit-disks trying to regularly poll the floppy device - while there is no floppy drive.
This was even shown in the /var/log/dmesg and by same messages on the console:
23.590119] input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as /devices/
[ 30.986245] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[ 44.050717] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
[ 44.050757] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[ 57.114103] end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0

[ 70.178492] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0
[ 70.670941] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
Later on, every 10 to 20 seconds, we have an error in dmesg for I/O error on dev fd0..
While - after downgrade to previous version of gvfs, I now have:
[ 18.806608] lp0: using parport0 (interrupt-driven).
[ 18.927975] EXT3 FS on sda2, internal journal
[ 19.546507] psmouse serio2: ID: 10 00 64
[ 22.896621] IBM TrackPoint firmware: 0x0e, buttons: 3/3
[ 23.113681] input: TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint as /devices/
ps ax was showing a task devkit-disks-addons with fd0 as one of its arguments....
Even if this is a bug for computers without floppy drives, it is anyway a bad idea to try to discover automatically a floppy (for autorun?) - especially as this is a slow device that is today disappearing from recent computers.
Best regards,
Nicolas
