A work around is to blacklist the floppy module:

sudo vi /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

add

blacklist floppy

and then run update-initramfs:

sudo update-initramfs -u

This bug still affects me. Can I ask, when will fix come to Ubuntu repos? A have the very latest updates now, but floppy is still "clicking". Temporary fixes mentioned here doesn't help me; only thing that works is
#pkill devkit-disks-da

But then no disks are mounted automatically.
