[SOLVED] Floppy auto-mounter consumes 100% cpu trying to mount...

So I'm running Gnome 3. No floppy drive installed, have even blacklisted module in modprobe.d.

After a while I notice the cpu usage spikes.

root      1124 69.1  0.0  10688   956 ?        R    16:00  26:36 mount -t auto -o uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid /dev/fd0 /run/media/<username>/disk

I cannot find any udev rules for this nor anything in fstab. I don't have any auto mounting apps installed.

I'm guessing it could be nautilus trying to mount it?

I cannot kill it (not even kill -9). Rebooting is only way to solve it.

Any ideas?

Disable it from the BIOS. You probably restored defaults there recently and it reverted to "auto" instead of "disabled" or something like that.

D'oh!

Sometimes it's the simplest things...
