No need for any further bug reports. This has been fixed already: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/5/28/297 It has been backported to openSUSE's 3.11.10 kernel and will be part of the next kernel update there. I tried it out, and floppy disk access now works at first attempt again, be it with mdir, blkid, or the patched udisks (with or without an fstab entry for the floppy drive). And yes, the patches still work fine and fix the issue reported here, i.e. the floppy does get correctly mounted as user, no matter whether there is an fstab entry or not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to udisks2 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1064195 Title: No permission to access files on storage device Ubuntu 12.04 does not allow me to access Floppy Drive Status in abstraction for enumerating and managing block devices: Confirmed Status in “udisks2” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and I am unable to access the 3.5" Floppy Drive.
