The createreport and dpmount scripts take a long time to process drives

Problem:

The createreport and dpmount scripts take a long time to process drives.

Cause:

The latest eudev (an update from the old udev) adds the floppy drive to /proc/partitions, which causes a delay when the scripts are obtaining drive details. The delay mainly occurs when there's no floppy drive in the system, but the BIOS reports there is one.

Solution:

Enter the computer's BIOS and disable the floppy drive.
