#64 Floppy is remounted when you mount the CD-rom

No

To reproduce:

1-Mount a floppy disk.
2-Unmount the floppy disk.
3-Insert a cd-rom without removing the floppy disk.

The floppy disk is remounted.

Is always reproducible here, with BeOS 5.03 pro, and the
latest Opentracker version (and it happens with older
versions, at least two months old).

I can't say if it's a new bug, or it happened even with
the original tracker.

    That's the beauty of the auto mounter. Since floppy drives do not
    propagate the disk status, it doesn't work correctly there. It
    should work better on Apple hardware, though.
    I am not sure if it's possible to fix it from Tracker's side, but
    I'll have a look. Thanks for the report.

    Yeah, I just hate that on x86, we still have this sucky floppy
    controller that doesn't track the disk status.
    Baah.

    An idea to fix this bug...
    Maybe we could exclude the floppy from the automounting
    mechanism ?
