Comment 178 for bug 441835

Quite by accident I discovered that opening Nautilus in superuser mode: 'gksu nautilus' with a floppy in the drive & floppy notation in fstab[1], automatically mounts floppy0. So it appears that this is a permissions/policy issue?

[1] from my /etc/fstab:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0
