Bug#428337: gnome: 3.5" floppy with vfat FS not being recognized

Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.14.3.6
Severity: normal

Steps to reproduce:

1) Insert floppy with vfat file system
2) #modprobe floppy
3) Go to Computer
4) Click or double click the floppy icon
5) See a message that it couldn't be mounted, because of unknown FS. 

There probably is some way to determine the FS by inspecting some magic constants. It could at least try vfat and ext2 if that's not possible. 

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 does work
