new usbfilter added every time I start VM

Post by mrkozmic »

I'm using vagrant to fire up Linux guest on Win 8.1 host.
In my Vagrantfile I have included a USB filter:
vb.customize ['usbfilter', 'add', '0', '--target', :id, '--name', 'USB Blaster-II', '--action', 'hold', '--active', 'yes', '--vendorid', '0x09fb', '--productid', '0x6810']
The filter works and I can use the USB device from the guest, but a new filter is added to the list of usbfilters every time I start a new VM.

Is there a problem with my usbfilter, a vagrant issue or is this a BUG?

Ask in the Vagrant forum, we don't have any idea here what Vagrant is doing.

I agree with martin "vb.customize" is not even a VirtualBox command or feature.

Thanks and sorry :-)
I was assuming that vb belonged to VirtualBox.

My problem seems to be a vagrant issue.
