Hi all...

It looks like haldaemon is polling my zip to see inserted disks
(it is the only hadware I have that uses ide-floppy).
I get a message like this

Feb 1 23:50:15 werewolf kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 0, key = 2, asc = 3a, ascq = 0
Feb 1 23:50:15 werewolf kernel: ide-floppy: hdd: I/O error, pc = 1b, key = 2, asc = 3a, ascq = 0
Feb 1 23:50:15 werewolf kernel: hdd: No disk in drive

every 2 seconds, both in messages and syslog.
They can grow very large after some uptime ;)

What is the policy here ? Kill the message in ide-floppy.c ?
I suppose there can be some other similat messages around there...

TIA
