Yeah if my only option is to start the qube with usb already attached, then
that's fine.  I would like to figure out how to do that, thanks.

Now that's a different call - I used to use udev triggers when USB
devices were introduced, but havent looked at them for a while.
If you want to automatically start a Windnows qube with device attached
when you plug it in to sys-usb, I may be able to help tomorrow.

Also, there's a suggestion here that you want to attch the device to a
running Windows qube - honestly, I have never succeeded in doing that,
but I dont use Windows to any real extent. Maybe someone else has done?

Last question:  Is there any way to set it up so whenever I plug a flash drive

It says "Failed to setup loop device for /dev/sda" when I type that in.

It's much easier to start the StandaloneVM with the drive attached:
qvm-start StandaloneVM --hddisk sys-usb:/dev/sda

That seems to match your requirement exactly.
(You can, of course, pass in a single partition rather than the whole
drive.)

Re: [qubes-users] Re: What is the path to the usb drive in sys-usb?

2019-07-09 Thread brendan . hoar
On my machine I have a sys-usb for only the usb 2.0 controller and a separately 
set up sys-usb-3 for the usb 3.0 controller.

I found the I/O performance of using qvm-usb ok for moving small amounts of 
data on and off the system. For heavier I/O, I ensure the sys-usb-3 VM is shut 
down and connect the USB 3.0 PCI device to the target VM in its Qubes Settings 
before starting the VM up. Effectively, that gives the VM native IO capability 
between the VM and the USB 3 device.

That should work for a Windows VM.

Sorry, forgot to mention, I want the USB to show up in a Windows 7 VM, which is 
a Standalone VM.

Don't know if you can attach a USB drive directly to a Win7 VM like 
that. Think I tried it before and had problems. Have heard of people 
passing through a USB controller and that working, but what I did 
instead was transfer files via a LAN FTP server. Eventually I converted 
nearly all my workflows to open-source instead, so haven't powered up 
the Win7 VM in months.

I can't find a terminal for my Windows 7 Qube (maybe because it's a standalone 
vm, idk).  In sys-usb terminal, I typed in "qvm-start win7new --hddisk sys-usb: 
/dev/sdk" and it said "bash: qvm-start: command not found."

Ok, much thanks, last line is gibberish to me, but I think the path is all I 
need. Is Gnome-disks in the Settings somewhere?

Oops, my bad. In sys-usb it is /dev/sdX.

In the VM that you pulled it from sys-usb into, it's going to be 
"/dev/xvd[i-z]".

[a-d] are taken by the Qubes-owned LVs. [e,f,g,h] are skipped. [i-z] are 
available for storage pass through.

Since the VMs use /dev/xvd[a-d] as the operational drives, the entire /dev/sd_ 
list isn't used unless you attach a USB driver.

Therefore, your first USB drive will be dev/sda (/dev/sda1 for the first 
partition, etc.).

If you're feeling lazy like I do, try running gnome-disks and it'll show you.
