A USB flash drive might become unresponsive after you disconnect View Client for Linux

Details

After you disconnect View Client for Linux from a guest desktop session, a redirected USB flash drive might become unresponsive. The device is not available on the host machine and it is not redirected if you restart View Client. If the error occurs, the following message is written to the system log:
 
reset high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address XX
 
This issue has been reported for some USB flash drives under various Linux kernels later than version 2.4. For example, the issue is known to occur with the Crucial Gizmo flash drive under Debian 5.0.3 (kernel version 2.6.26). It is not an issue with all models of USB flash drive.

Solution

To work around this issue, remove the USB flash drive, plug it in again, and restart View Client.
