Host to guest route through

Post by smakarl »

Usb is set up. Unmounting from the host to permit the guests to mount results in the host remounting before the guest is able. Idea: a new alternate virtualbox usb control between the host and guest which functions as a usb router passing device info and data. Thereby eliminating host guest competition. Access would be host or guest, with the other locked out until the user toggles the access.

Interesting concept. USB does throuw folks for a loop. I would suggest a new topic in "Using Virtualbox" or the Host type subforum for the physical PC you have, so we can try to troubleshoot this:

A Virtualbox USB filter might be able to control this. See USB basics and troubleshooting. Sort of like what you did here but never responded to: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=101805 (hint hint :wink: )
