[plug] Floppy access after Edgy>Feisty upgrade

[David Dartnall]

Hi list,

It appears that my floppy drive is not automatically mounted when a disk 
is inserted.

Access via Places>Computer>Floppy drive    returns a momentary window 
with the message 'Opening floppy drive' and then opens the root 
directory in Nautilus. >media>floppy or floppy0 then displays the floppy 
files and floppy icon appears on the Desktop. Floppy mounted and now 
accessible.

Access via Places>Computer>Filesystem>media>floppy does not work.

fstab reads:  

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
# /dev/hdc3

/dev/cdrom        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/fd0           /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

    ---which looks strange to me - I don't understand what the lines 
starting UUID= are all about, but I guess they don't have any bearing on 
floppy access.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour and/or have any ideas about fixing 
it? The update went well otherwise.
