It seems from bug-reports that this is a udisks2 problem perhaps adding 
ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1" to the fd* statement to 80-udisks2.rules in 
/lib/udev/rules.d/ would hide the problem at least.

Like so :

# Tag floppy drives since they need special care

# PC floppy drives
#
KERNEL=="fd*", ENV{ID_DRIVE_FLOPPY}="1", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1" 

Sorry i have no fdd to test with.

Mark
