Re: [tlug] Kickstart udev without restarting the computer

[Dave M G <martin@example.com>]

Shakthi,

Thank you for your continued explanations.

Today my SD card reader wasn't responding to having an SD card in it, 
which is something I reported once before.

I figured out today that there's a process called usb-storage, with an 
id of 3243. If I kill it, it automatically restarts.

And then I was able to access my SD card.

Now I have a couple of tools to restart things like udev and 
usb-storage. This is good, as it allows me to keep using my computer as 
I like.

But I'm still not entirely sure why either of these things would stop 
responding in the first place.

Does anyone have any idea what I might do diagnose the cause of these 
devices stopping?
