Description Michael Nottebrock 2006-06-07 16:31:43 UTC

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).

Bogus filedescriptor drive. ;-)

Comment 2 Kevin Ottens 2006-06-09 23:13:14 UTC

Do you mean that I should ignore the entry if the fs type is "fdescfs" ?

Comment 3 Michael Nottebrock 2006-06-10 00:31:39 UTC

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.

Comment 4 Kevin Ottens 2006-06-15 23:30:59 UTC

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.
