HAL problems with floppy drives

[William Shotts]

I'm running the current Rawhide FC5 and have been looking at device
detection issues and mounting.

I earlier mentioned a problem with Konqueror where is would mount a floppy
drive multiple times and not be able to unmount it.  It looks like the
problem might be that HAL does not delete the mount point in /media after
unmounting, the mount points just pile up.  With other devices, such as
USB flash drives, unmounting results in deletion of the mount point.

Another troublsome situation arises when a USB drive is attached at boot
time.  In that case, the device is mounted but root seems to own the
device and the user is unable to umount it.  Is this intentional?
