Group and group permissions for special nodes for floppy devices do not
match that of the initial floppy device node. The initial floppy device
node has a group of floppy and group permissions allow read/write.
Special nodes for floppy devices have a group of disk and group
permissions of read-only. Group and group permissions should be
consistent to allow for fomatting floppy disks of various capacities.
The following output from ls shows the permissions for floppy device
nodes on my system:
