So... recently I've started using a physical box running Debian for some retro computing work (dd'ing images etc.) and I have a need to use a USB floppy drive.

I think there is some daemon running in the background trying to automount stuff, as the USB drive constantly clicks when empty just like the Amiga used to.

Very irritating.

Could be. For the record, my USB drive (and I'm running Debian too), doesn't do that. Part of the desktop environment, perhaps?
