Package: gnome
Version: 1:2.14.3.6
Severity: normal

Steps to reproduce:

1) Insert floppy with vfat file system
2) #modprobe floppy
3) Go to Computer
4) Click or double click the floppy icon
5) See a message that it couldn't be mounted, because of unknown FS. 

There probably is some way to determine the FS by inspecting some magic constants. It could at least try vfat and ext2 if that's not possible. 

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 does work

i don'T see a kernel bug if the mount happens to work,
closing as gnome maintainer sees no necessity to work on.
