I have noticed this as well in recent kernels. I posted to Arch about it (along with other issues) and didn't get a specific answer. With the 4.13.3 kernel I begin seeing: Oct 04 14:28:43 phoinix kernel: print_req_error: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Oct 04 14:28:43 phoinix kernel: floppy: error 10 while reading block 0 Oct 04 14:28:43 phoinix kernel: print_req_error: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Oct 04 14:28:43 phoinix kernel: floppy: error 10 while reading block 0 It continues to this day: $ jcnl -b | grep fd0 Dec 13 20:39:09 phoinix kernel: Floppy drive(s): fd0 is 1.44M Dec 13 20:39:09 phoinix kernel: print_req_error: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Dec 13 20:39:09 phoinix kernel: print_req_error: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0 Just dunno...
