Hi all,
Not a drama, as everything appears to be working, I just want to learn something on my Arch journey. Since the most recent update (as of this morning) this mount item is failing according to /var/log/boot, naturally because as of this morning, /proc/bus/usb is not there anymore. Okay...
There is a mount command in my fstab:
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs auto,busgid=108,busmode=0775,devgid=108,devmode=664 0 0
It is there because I had a problem in Virtualbox with my USB bus; this is known and documented here. I know I can comment out the fstab entry, just curious what is going on here and what has changed with USB?

Did you update the virtualbox-archlinux-modules?

I have the same issue in the same situation after upgrading initscripts

Why virtualbox-archlinux-modules would cause such an issue? It's for arch linux guests.

what has changed with USB?
/proc/bus/usb/ has been deprecated for years.
The VirtualBox 4.1.18 code refers to /sys/bus/usb/, which seems to be the replacement for /proc/bus/usb/.
But in practice, it's more complicated - there's also /dev/vboxusb/ - created in /etc/init.d/vboxdrv

i have the same issue as well, and i have the latest version of virtualbox-archlinux-modules....
but @brebs i did not understand what you want to say with your last two sentences...
can you be more clear on what we should do. Should we just comment the entry in the fstab?
Thanks :-)

Yes. No other choice - it's not going to mount, support for it has been *removed* in kernel 3.5.

I also got this problem. I tried to install virtualbox-ext-oracle from AUR, which is supposed to give support for USB. I still get the error. I'm already a member of 'vboxusers'. Anyone tried the package with success?

Then this breaks usbview which is in [extra]. It explicitly requires /proc/bus/usb/devices which is only present if usbfs is mounted on /proc/bus/usb.

Anyone who has this problem should encounter an error message box when try to open the setting dialogue of virtual system. So the following will be helpful.
