Public bug reported:
Current behaviour: when trying to format a mounted floppy disk, you get
one of three errors, one of which is totally unhelpful, and the other
two of which are overly technical.
Expected behaviour: at the very least, gfloppy should check if the drive
is mounted and tell the user. However, I see no reason not to unmount
automatically.
More info: the current messages:
With a quick FAT format:
The filesystem creation utility (/sbin/mkdosfs) reported the following
errors:
mkdosfs: /dev/fd0 contains a mounted file system.
(50)
With a quick ext2 format:
The filesystem creation utility (/sbin/mke2fs) reported the following
errors:
/dev/fd0 is mounted; will not make a filesystem here!
(54)
With either a 'Standard' or 'Thorough' format:
Error formatting track #0
** Affects: gnome-utils (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
