I use this from kvm, and have never had a problem. Run lsusb. Insert the USB drive and run lsusb again. The new line will be that drive.
Ex: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0781:5530 SanDisk Corp. Cruzer Then using the ID from the lsusb line, add: -usb -usbdevice host:0781:5530 into your qemu-kvm command: qemu-kvm -usb -usbdevice host:0781:5530 -hda ~/vm/test.raw -name test -m 512 -boot c & On Fri, Apr 5, 2013 at 10:38 PM, Michael Torrie <[email protected]> wrote: > Is it possible to add usb 2.0 devices from the host into kvm guests? > And even better, can it be done via libvirt/virt-manager?
