Virtualbox 2.0.2 (mount usbfs)

English Applications

I got installed Virtualbox 2.0.2 (Sun) and I had to add “mount usbfs” to /etc/init.d/boot.local to enable usb support, I did it by editing that file in gedit as root.
My question is have I do in right? Shouldn’t I make this by some YAST applet? But I didn’t find a proper for changing boot.local file.
Anyone can explain me? :slight_smile:

Yes you did fine, although as usual there are probably half a dozen other ways to get to the same goal. VBox is a third-party program. OpenSUSE as distributed has no use for usbfs, but of course the capability is there in Linux.

There are far far more things you can do in Linux that are not supported in YaST. And that’s part of the fun. lol!

Hi,

mount -t

That did it for me too. Thanks for the info.

I have the correct entry in fstab, but its not getting auto mounted for some reason.

I’m happy to do a mount -t for the moment, but there must be a way for this to happen when the usb device is plugged in.

Cheers

rotfl!
