Public bug reported:
I have tried to mount a floppy containing a fat filesystem on my ubuntu
6.06.1 system: I have noticed that it takes quite a lot of time and
stresses the fd driver heads, as I can hear lots of seeks.
I think the entries in the logs (see below) about UDF and CDROM are
quite suspicious... of course I wasn't doing anything with the cdrom
driver at the moment.
I don't think it is a problem with the floppy disk, since this problem
appeared with several other disks. I don't think it is a problem with
the fd driver either, since it is quite new.
It is interesting that the very same disks were mounted with no problem
at all on another computer with ubuntu 5.10.
