Comment 3 for bug 384409

As you may see in dmesg, there is an fd0 controller detected but there is no physical drive.
Following output comes from "modprobe floppy"

[ 2.031611] Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
[ 2.047060] FDC 0 is a National Semiconductor PC87306

# ps ax | egrep fd0 | egrep -v egrep
 3772 ? D 0:00 devkit-disks-daemon: polling /dev/sr0 /dev/fd0

There is no output from gvfs-mount -l

Also when using "modprobe floppy floppy=debug" I just have following trace:

[ 2534.816115] floppy0: Setting flag 0x1
[ 2534.816250] Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M

[ 2534.834699] reset interrupt: dtime=558708
[ 2534.834711] floppy0: reschedule timeout do wakeup

But afterwards, dmesg is permanently filled in by following output just saturating the ring buffer
