Ubuntu 8.04 server 64bit, vmware-server 1.0.7
After I activated the USB Magic and added a line to fstab the USB devics
are now visible to vm guests (e.g. Win2000Pro). Then I noticed that I
have 2 sets of folders, one in /dev/bus/usb and a 2nd one in
/dev/bus/usb/.usbfs AND after some USB activity, they are no longer
identical. Then I made this "Magic hack":
#
# Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work
#
#mkdir -p /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
#domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
-obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
#ln -s .usbfs/devices /dev/bus/usb/devices
#mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
# Hacked Magic to make /proc/bus/usb work (BETTER?)
domount usbfs "" /dev/bus/usb/ -obusmode=0700,devmode=0600,listmode=0644
mount --rbind /dev/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb
ln -s /dev/bus/usb /dev/bus/usb/.usbfs
Wonder what I screwed up by pointing .usbfs/ back to ../usb/ but it
seems to work BETTER that way. For my USB problems he remaining issues
look more and more like vmware bugs...
