[Bug 77971] Re: usb flash drive not working. Lsusb hangs with no output.

[thedanyes]

This is odd because all my usb devices have been working fine up to this
point.  I plugged in my two external usb drives and turned them on, then
did an 'sudo fdisk -l' to see what device labels they had been assigned
so I could mount them.  They didn't show up in the fdisk list, so I ran
it a few more times, they still didn't show up.  Next I ran 'lsusb' as
root, and it hung.  I hit ctrl-c a couple times, waited a few minutes,
hit ctrl-z - no luck - that console never became responsive again.  I
closed that console and opened another.  Su'ed to root, ran 'ps aux |
grep lsusb', ran a 'kill' on the process number, it didn't die.  Ran a
'kill -9' on the process number, and it still didn't die.  Here is my
'ps aux | grep lsusb' output 13 minutes later:

root at RAY:/home/dan# ps aux | grep lsusb
root     26593  0.0  0.0   2084   832 ?        D    23:43   0:00 lsusb
root     26716  0.0  0.0   2884   756 pts/3    R+   23:57   0:00 grep lsusb
