I open() a USB serial port in my C application, but in the meantime the device is disconnected. I close() the device, however, I get this when I do lsof
sdmd 2987 root 5u CHR 188,1 0t0 27482 /dev/ttyUSB1 (deleted)
The problem is when the device is reconnected, the kernel (linux) can't assign the name for that name. There's no /dev/ttyUSB1 in the filesystem however.
How can I let this device go? How can I really close that file?
