Comment 255 for bug 441835

Perhaps not related to this bug & I'll file a new one once this bug is sorted out if it's not, but I noticed that on a fully updated 10.4.1 Lucid (with the exception of udisks) I can no longer format a floppy via 'System|Administration|Disk Utility' or via Kfloppy, or Nautilus. When attempting to format to FAT via any of those I get:
Error creating file system: helper exited with exit code 1: Error calling fsync(2) on /dev/fd0: Input/output error

The only way that I can now format the floppy is using '$ usermount' provided via:
$ apt-cache policy usermode
usermode:
  Installed: 1.102-0.1
  Candidate: 1.102-0.1
  Version table:
 *** 1.102-0.1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/usermode

That is of course in combination with:
$ apt-cache policy udisks
udisks:
  Installed: 1.0.1-1build1
  Candidate: 1.0.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
     1.0.1-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main Packages
 *** 1.0.1-1build1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Interesting that usermode works & the others do not.
