[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#622618: unable to mount first floppy disk due to udisks-daemon

[seshadri]

Package: udisks
Version: 1.0.1+git20100614-3
Severity: normal

udisks-daemon seems to monitor the first floppy drive (/dev/fd0), and unmounts
the drive if any attempt is made to mount it manually. However, it doesn't
mount the drive automatically either.

If I add another floppy drive to the machine (/dev/fd1) then I can manually
mount the drive and use it. The floppy drive functionality is somewhat broken
for the end-user with 1 floppy drive as the floppy disk cannot be mounted
automatically (Places -> Floppy Drive) or manually (mount command).
