Hi all. I’ve struggled a lot,to make my usb sticks work in VirtualBox, so I thought to share my experience, since it may be useful for someone. I’m on suse 11.1, kde 4.3, VirtualBox 3.08 PE version and was trying to make usb stick available in my Win Xp guest machine. As suggested on many sites, I tried to add new line
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,busgid=1000,busmode=0775,devgid=1000,devmode=664 0 0
in /etc/fstab, but it didn’t help. An alternative solution I found somewhere on the web, which worked in case was to: as root user move to folder
cd /etc/udev/rules.d/
backup original file
cp 10-vboxdrv.rules 10-vboxdrv.rules_backup
rename file
mv 10-vboxdrv.rules 60-vboxdrv.rules
and reboot machine. Have a nice day
