this process (udevd) bloated to 25mb (and growing) after I inserted a 4gb flash drive, through an USB OTG adapter into my n800, OS2008.

what exactly is it doing? indexing? and will it repeat itself if I unplug and replug the drive?

Can anyone give me some feedback?

thanks

Ilia

... did not help much.

- why is it taking all my CPU for 8 hours already, without stopping?
- is it necessary, or can I turn it off, USB plugged devices still working?
- memory it takes...?

Sounds like you've got a udev script that's trying to do something and getting locked up/stuck in an impossible loop. Have you installed an additional packages/scripts that might have something to do with udev rules? (i.e. my usb mouse and usb serial, and usb networking packages use udev rules and when I was developing them if I did something stupid I'd run into this problem because the rule would continously try to keep running, causing udevd to get stuck).

Try removing USB mouse and see if the problem persists. If it fixes it, let me know as I'd appreciate your help in working out any bugs that exist in that package. I know some of the original releases did have an issue where the mouse polling program could get launched a million times without any sort of reasoning or logic behind it, causing udevd to get all ticked off, but I don't remember actually releasing that... I thought it was only while I was doing my development here; could be wrong though! Anyways, give it a shot and let me know!

(I have no idea what usbcontrol is, so figure it's easiest to start with the package that I know and can fix if it's a problem!)

Thanks!

Usbcontrol is from Urho Konttori, I believe, to toggle USB host mode in software.

It's also said to have a problem with ukki's NTFS support.

since I did a reboot, this problem hasn't yet occurred. if it does, i'll check what causes it.
the drive is formated FAT32, not ntfs.

I will try to remember what I did in order to restart that process.
