Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.3) Installed from: FreeBSD Ports OS: FreeBSD In FreeBSD, floppy disk devices are named /dev/fd0, /dev/fd1 [...]. However: FreeBSD also has filedescriptor devices which are named /dev/fd/0, dev/fd/1 ... etc. By default, /dev/fd is provided by devfs(5), which provides nodes for the first three file descriptors. Some sites may require nodes for additional file descriptors; these can be made available by mounting fdescfs(5) on /dev/fd. Media gets confused by these devices, which results in bogus floppy drives being detected (See attached screenshot).
Created attachment 16505 [details] Bogus filedescriptor drive. ;-)
Do you mean that I should ignore the entry if the fs type is "fdescfs" ?
That might work - there's still the entries from devfs left, but for some reason media does not seem to pick up those. If you could whip up a patch, I can test.
SVN commit 551883 by ervin: Filesystem typ "fdescfs" is now blacklisted. That should be enough to fix this one. Please reopen if it's still broken.
