Is there really any need for the user to have root access to the

to format the floppy he wants to save his OO document on ????
And when the user has not put his floppy disk properly in the floppy drive
is faced with "Unable to mount media <clicks> detail -->
and gets mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device
Instead of userfriendly msg like the cd/dvd rom outputs "There's
probably no media in drive"
which by the way is true in this case...
Mounting and creating filesystems is something that PolicyKit should allow to be
configured, see System->Preferences->System->Authorizations. This is really a
matter of default polkit policy being written to make it happen (and/or to
prevent it). I think in some cases it would be valuable to prevent a user from
formatting any disks (think internet kiosk or security sensitive data on a
workstation).
