Could anyone try this: In /lib/udev/rules.d/60-persistent-storage.rules, change KERNEL==fd*|mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*|dm-*|md*, GOTO=persistent_storage_end to not have the fd* in it, i. e. KERNEL==mtd*|nbd*|gnbd*|btibm*|dm-*|md*, GOTO=persistent_storage_end Then udev should probe the floppy

It shouldn't be retrofitted into the normal persistent storage rules like that, because we don't have media detection for floppies - and you don't want the usual persistent symlinks for them anyway even if they did. Basically you really just want blkid run on it - if we have a floppy present
