Yep, my console is indeed filled up with the corresponding error messages.

Have you tried to umount that floppy? Well, you can't. Unless you manually
change the floppy to read/write and allow the OS to apply the changes to
the floppy :(. But what if you can't or don't want that...then it is
error-mounted for ever....

I would qualify this as a clear bug.
What do you say? Worth a bug report?

Simply mount and the umount a read/only floppy. You're stuck!

Rob.
