Bug Description
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.
