That does indicate that the problem is not in udisks. Try stopping udev as well before plugging in the drive.

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.
