Hi,
I'm using VirtualBox for a very long time and never had any problems.
But today I wanted to mount my USB flash drive as I always do but I receive an error message:
Not permitted to open the USB device, check usbfs options.
Fehlercode:
NS_ERROR_FAILURE (0x80004005)
Komponente:
Console
Interface:
IConsole {0a51994b-cbc6-4686-94eb-d4e4023280e2}
$ cat /etc/fstab | grep usbfs
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,busgid=108,busmode=0775,devgid=108,devmode=0664 0 0
$ cat /etc/group | grep vboxusers
vboxusers:x:108:thomas,hiwi
Any idea what's going wrong? I'm not sure if there was an update of virtualbox_bin since the last time I used it.

In my fstab:
none /sys/bus/usb/drivers usbfs devgid=108,devmode=664 0 0
And it works fine.

Thanks, I'm entered this to the discussion page of the VirtualBox article in the wiki.
The wiki also says that an entry in the fstab isn't necessary anymore.
