Hello!
Mounting floppy disks doesn't work on my setup (ARCH x86_64, linux 3.2.1-1 and linux-lts 3.0.17-1).
I try to mount with
mount /dev/fd0The floppy drive gives a short noise and lights its LED, but the floppy is not mounted, at least it is not listed by the output of mount.
But these lines get added to /var/log/kernel.log:

/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto user,noauto 0 0The floppy disk drive is a NEC FD1231H. During loading floppy module these lines are added to syslog:
Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M
FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077The error occurs with user's shell as well as with a root shell. I do not believe in hardware damage as the drive works properly unter RedmondOS.
IMHO remarkable: despite of the trace in dmesg KDE SC’s kfloppy is able to do "Full format" with "Verify integrity" and "Volume label" without error message and with the soundscape of a properly working FDD.
Is anyone able to to retrace that?
What is the source of this error? Is this worth a bug report?
I know, floppy is legacy…
