<br>
I am on Arch Linux and strangely after updating e.g. the kernel, device<br>
nodes (/dev/sdb1, etc.) for removable devices such as usb disks are no<br>
longer created when I plug in the disk. If I reboot, they are created again.<br>
<br>
Is there a systemd command I can run after upgrading, so the device nodes<br>
are created without me having to reboot?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
