A lot of I/O errors for fd0 in system logs (kernel 3.4.4)

Hello!

Recently I started noticing a lot of I/O errors for fd0 in logs, like this:

Jul 11 18:29:05 dimka-host kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Jul 11 18:29:17 dimka-host kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Jul 11 18:29:29 dimka-host kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 2
Jul 11 18:29:29 dimka-host kernel: EXT4-fs (fd0): unable to read superblock
Jul 11 18:29:41 dimka-host kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
Jul 11 18:29:54 dimka-host kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 2
Jul 11 18:29:54 dimka-host kernel: EXT4-fs (fd0): unable to read superblock
Jul 11 18:30:06 dimka-host kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0

They keep being reported every several minutes.
This PC has no floppy drive at all, nothing like fd0 exists in my /etc/fstab and nothing I did around fd0 at all

Not that these messages do any harm, but I sometimes poke through logs and they kinda look like rubbish

Any hint on how to get rid of them would be much appreciated.

Hi,

try to disable floppy in BIOS. This solved the problem for me Anyway, I don't know why these errors appeared just recently and what is trying to reach fd0.
