The problem is with the latter patch. If udisks-daemon is running, then after using the 'mount' command to mount a filesystem on an inserted floppy disk, the mount succeeds, but immediately afterwards, udisks-daemon steps in and forcibly unmounts it again! The problem seems to be due to the handling of media change notification. The "Fix long hangs on probing nonexistant floppy drives" patch modifies update_info() in "src/device.c" so that the device_is_media_available flag is always set to FALSE for a (removable) floppy drive. Consequently, the file system gets forcibly unmounted because udisks-daemon thinks the mounted medium has gone away! Mounting the floppy with the 'udisks --mount' command works, but it ought to be possible to use the regular 'mount' command.

I'm sure that would work as it revokes commit 2b2fcf80841972b70ad695a5a1ed74487d4fd37a ("Fix long hangs on probing nonexistant floppy drives"), but then a less crude fix for the "long hangs probing" problem would be required.

Sorry, my mistake, Atlant! My above comment is wrong. I'll try your patch.

I've tested your patch and it works for me! I've attached the output of 'udisks --monitor-detail' with udisks-daemon running (compiled from git head plus your patch (id=39751)). The output is a result of a 'mount /mnt/floppy' command, where /mnt/floppy is listed as the mount point of /dev/fd0 in my /etc/fstab file: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,user 0 0 The floppy was mounted successfully and no longer forcibly unmounted by udisks-daemon immediately after. I could also unmount the floppy and mount it again with no problems. I don't know what effect your patch has on the "long hangs on probing nonexistant floppy drives" fix as I couldn't reproduce the problem on a stock udisks-1.0.1 installation on my system even when the floppy drive was unplugged from its controller.

It seems their "poor" developers can't even spend 10 dollars on a floppy drive to test. (Hell, I'll ship 'em one for free if they'll give me the address and guarantee that they'll to fix the bug--and I'm an unemployed college student with two kids and a wife!) The problem is that the developers think floppies are obsolete, even though there are many items still in use that require floppies (such as an early 90's, high-end, $4000-- original price--Roland Electronic Piano that reads midi files on a floppy disk).

Yes, floppys are an obsolete media, still, users like me, sometimes have to get data off retro-computers and alike. Sometimes this is the only way.. Devs,Please have a look a this soon. Thanks.
