Description Danny Al-Gaaf 2005-11-04 00:50:36 UTC 
Currently HAL handle internal (IDE) and USB floppys in different ways (because of poll and register insert media). For internal floppy there is no volume device object in HAL, but for USB it is.

Because of this different behavior we mount always the device (and not the volume). This work perfect for internal devices, because we never get a umount event. But this doesn't work for USB, because we get a umount for the dev path if the volume (and not the device) is removed. This results in: never remount USB floppy disc after first remove of the disc.

This is also present in 10.0
