[Bug 1456338] Re: USB floppy drive is running without floppy
I found a partial workaround to this problem:
The solution has been tested under Ubuntu 14.04 and should work also on
more recent versions of Ubuntu.
This solution works only for the cheap Teac USB floppy controllers (for
other usb controllers you will maybe have to adapt the solution
yourself):
In the terminal simply type lsscsi (if it's not installed type sudo apt-
get install lsscsi):
Output: [6:0:0:0]diskTEAC USB UF000x 0.00
If you don't see TEAC and USB UF000x when the floppy drive is connected,
this solution is not for you.
Create this file with administrative privileges :
/etc/udev/rules.d/00-teacfloppy.rules
Paste in this line:
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ATTR{removable}=="1",
ATTRS{idVendor}=="0644", ATTRS{idProduct}=="",
ATTR{events_poll_msecs}="-1"
Save and reboot.
The drive will seek for a few seconds then the motor will quickly stop.

Let me see if I have this right. If you boot the system normally and plug in the drive, it starts running forever. Does it also do the same if you plug it in and then boot the system normally?

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.
