Umm, thanks, but no. udevd is just another userspace process AFAICT. If it
weren't running then the worst that could happen is that some dynamic
device creation would not happen.
Anyone else on how to restart?
The udevd man page is your friend.
"udevd receives the events from udevsend If udevd isn't already
running, udevsend will start it."
