I have been able to circumvent the problem
by commenting out the following entries in /etc/fstab and rebooting:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd1 /media/floppy1 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
Now only root can mount and umount floppies. Since GNOME does not
run with root privileges, it can't mess me up.
was to keep the above lines in "/etc/fstab" and mount floppies with
"udisks --mount /dev/fdX".
That works, Tom. Thanks! And of course the corresponding
udisks --unmount /dev/fdX
command unmounts the floppy. It appears that udisks has taken over
the mounting and unmounting of removable-media devices just like
network manager has taken over network devices. I don't think
You're welcome. Definitely not Kansas; probably more like Mars,
especially since udisks was called devkit-disks not long ago so we're
being kept on our toes... (I presume that the "u" comes from udev but
it's a total WAG.)
