Title:
  Udev needs restart after dismounting truecrypt encrypted USB stick

Status in “udev” package in Ubuntu:
  New

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.
