Hello all you there,
I have an annoying problem: When I have an USB memory stick attached and then
detach it while I have a file open on it, the device node is left reserved even
if it disappears from the /dev dir. If the device node was /dev/sda then next
time it would be /dev/sdb. Additional symptom is that the related scsi_eh_?
process doesn't die.
Searching for a solution I found one other similar incident but no solution.
The kernel is 2.6.18 on ARM LH7A400 and the system is build with buildroot. The
USB host is implemented with ISP1160.
Is this clearly a problem in the Linux USB subsystem or is it possible that the
user space could cause this kind of phenomenon?
Should I try a newer kernel? Could someone confirm that it should make a
difference?
Is there some kind of workaround?
How could/should I debug this?
Thanks beforehand...
