[Bug 786263] [NEW] Udev needs restart after dismounting truecrypt encrypted USB stick

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

I've just installed Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit desktop. Among other problems
I've encountered this one: I have the USB stick encrypted with truecrypt
(the whole partition). When I connect it, the devices /dev/sd? and
/dev/sd?1 are created and mounting via truecrypt is OK, but when I
disconnect the stick, one udev-deamon thread starts running using 100 %
of CPU and eating more and more memory, up to almost 100 MB. And what's
worse, if I reconnect the stick, devices in /dev/ are NOT created again
and neither /proc/partitions gets updated. Syslog says nothing about it.

Workaround: The only working way to solve this that I've found so far is
restarting udev.
