Well, all that error is saying is "No medium present". We could just 
make sd suppress that error on disk starting/stopping..

Yes, provided that the start/stop command is valid for ATAPI drives and is the 
correct thing to do. I don't know.

[PATCH] libata and starting/stopping ATAPI floppy devices

[Ondrej Zary]

Hello,
I switched to libata drivers for my onboard PATA controller (PIIX4) recently. 
Everything works fine except that kernel tries to start not only my hard 
drive (sda) but also LS-120 floppy drive (sdb) which does not like it:

sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Starting disk
ata1.00: configured for UDMA/33
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 58633344 512-byte hardware sectors (30020 MB)
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support 
DPO or FUA
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Starting disk
ata2.00: configured for UDMA/33
ata2.01: configured for PIO2
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x2 [current]
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] ASC=0x3a ASCQ=0x0


The question is: is it correct? Or a patch like this should be applied?

Yeah, looks good to me.  Please reformat the message w/ S-O-B.

Prevent libata from starting/stopping non-ATA devices (like ATAPI floppy 
drives) as they don't seem to like it:

sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Starting disk
ata2.01: configured for PIO2
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Result: hostbyte=0x00 driverbyte=0x08
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] Sense Key : 0x2 [current]
sd 1:0:1:0: [sdb] ASC=0x3a ASCQ=0x0

applied #upstream-fixes manually.  not sure why git-am didn't like it, 
but patch(1) did.
