USB 3.0 hard drive fails to appear in guest when in 3.0 port

Post by jsedwards »

I have a USB 3.0 hard drive that doesn't appear in the guest OS (both Host and Guest are Ubuntu Linux) when it is plugged into the USB 3.0 port on the motherboard. However, if I plug it into one of the USB 2.0 ports it works fine. Here is the dmesg from the guest when it is plugged into the USB 3.0 port:

[ 195.452122] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device number 6 using ehci_hcd
[ 195.600107] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error 18
[ 195.844117] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error 18
[ 196.060115] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device number 7 using ehci_hcd
[ 196.208112] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error 18
[ 196.452987] usb 1-1: device descriptor read/64, error 18
[ 196.668108] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device number 8 using ehci_hcd
[ 196.736410] usb 1-1: Invalid ep0 maxpacket: 9
[ 196.852103] usb 1-1: new high speed USB device number 9 using ehci_hcd
[ 196.911949] usb 1-1: Invalid ep0 maxpacket: 9
[ 196.916099] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 1

The drive works correctly when plugged into the USB 3.0 port with the Host OS (no USB filter for it in VirtualBox).

Should I report this as a bug or am I missing something?

AFAIK usb3 is not supported yet. You can report it as an enhancement though if you like bugtracker

Indeed USB 3.0 isn't supported yet. Could you please attach output of 'sudo lspci -vvvv' on your host?
