> Does it also do the same if you plug it in and then boot the system normally? Yes. When a splash screen "kubuntu" is shown the drive starts "running forever".

No. I have tried to plug the floppy drive in rescue mode (root shell) and the exit from the root shell and resume normal boot. The drive started "running forever" during resuming normal boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1456338 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.
