Bug 208195

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
Compiler:          g++ 
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

I hope you don't disregard this bug report. People still use the floppy drive, if anything for file transfer with old computers, and this bug makes that even more tedious than it would normally be.



When you mount the floppy drive in Dolphin by clicking its icon on the panel on the left, it mounts fine and you view the directory. However, if you navigate out of the drive's directory, and try to go back in, Dolphin tries to mount it again, producing an error (at the bottom of the screen - An error occurred while accessing 'PC Floppy Drive', the system responded: mount: /dev/fd0 already mounted or /media/floppy0 busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/fd0 is already mounted on /media/floppy0)

This same bug also makes it impossible to unmount the floppy drive through the GUI (by right-clicking the icon in the bar on the left) - one must type sudo umount /dev/fd0



For floppy drive users, this is quite a large bug.
