I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 (after removal "/bin", "/usr" and some
other directories on the root FS). The bug remains. If I boot into
rescue mode ("Drop to root shell prompt") and connect the USB floppy
drive without disk, it works normally. If I boot into rescue mode,
select resuming normal boot and connect the USB floppy drive, the drive
works with the bug.

Title:
  USB floppy drive is running without floppy

Status in udisks2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  When I connect USB floppy drive (Gembird) without floppy under Ubuntu, the 
drive engine seems to be running (the floppy drive LED is on and the drive is 
sounding). The same behaviour takes place if I connect the drive with a floppy 
and then remove the floppy. It seems that the system accesses the drive 
permanently when there is no floppy. Under Windows XP it works normally - when 
there is no floppy, the LED and engine are switched off. I have tried Ubuntu 
14.10 (amd64) with upstart, LXQt and KDE 5; Ubuntu 15.04 with systemd, LXQt - 
the same behaviour.
  If I boot using bash as init (init=/bin/bash) and connect the floppy drive 
after boot, the engine is off (the normal behaviour).
  lsof /dev/sdb during engine running outputs nothing.
