This bug is fixed so try to update your system
I already tried that but it did not solve the problem. However, my
system was an upgrade from 9.04. Maybe some leftover config file screwed
things up because after I reinstalled 9.10 from scratch, the problem did
not occur again. Just posting to
I think I have a similar problem. However, in my case, devkit-disks-
daemon continues to poll for /dev/sdb which in my case is a card reader
device. It uses approximately 20% of my CPU. If I kill the process, the
cpu load drops significantly.

I use the floppy drive, so disabling it is NOT an option. I know most of you

I cannot remember the last time I used a floppy; indeed I had to get one
from the attic to test what happened when you inserted one with the
constant polling going on.
Rather than meddling with the OS while we are waiting for the next
release, can I suggest (as I have) temporarily disabling the

A temporary fix is
$ devkit-disks --inhibit-polling /devices/fd0
I'm looking for the configuration file to disable floppy polling
completely.
Perhaps a lower frequency of polling the floppy drives would be better,
ie a longer gap than 2 seconds. It took me a while to find where the

By the way, you’d expect it would be possible to do a noiseless poll
with the floppy drive.
AmigaOS did the clicky poll periodically, and someone created a utility
that made it silent. It worked perfectly.

Please ignore my previous message. It must be a symptom of LP #384579,
