(Get the code!)
I also have the same bug, both on 10.04 and 10.10. I don't know for 11.04 or earlier versions.
It affects both internal drives AND USB Floppy Drives.
I could make the two of them work by downgrading udisk to build1 version. It's relatively easy on 10.04, but for 10.10 you have to do some serious googling to find the right 10.10 udisk package.
Now for those who say floppies are outdated, obsolete and not worth a good support : it is not acceptable. Backward compatibility is mandatory for all OSes, and Ubuntu cannot behave the same way Microsoft had with its Windows versions. Though floppies are not produced anymore (AFAIK) they are widespread in the industrial sector where I'm working, as well as serial and parallel interfaces. We definitively need such hardware support now and in the future.
So please Ubuntu maintainers, fix this udisk bug as soon as possible.
