(2) As root, edit /etc/fstab and set the gid and mode for usbfs as follows:
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs mode=0664,gid=113 0 0
That's it, reboot or source fstab in your favorite way and usb will now work flawlessly with Virtualbox. Once in Virtualbox, just add a filter for the usb device you would like to connect and your done.
I've bumbled into a problem with this. If I make the changes, as described, to my fstab, then USB works in VirtulaBox, but my iPod cannot be mounted (there was a thread from a couple of days ago I started about iPod not connecting, and with help from the listmembers I traced it to the changes made for USB support in VirtualBox). If I roll back the change to the USBFS line in the fstab, then the iPod works again. Anyone else have this problem?
