Ph9214 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I want to make/have made for me a plugin that automatically attaches hotpluged usb devices to a selected vm unless they are already assigned in the xml file of another vm in which case it assigns the usb device to the vm which has it in the xml (I don't know why unraid doesn't allow you to disconnect and reconnect usb devices that already are assigned to a vm) this plugin would basically be a fork of this https://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=47240.0 but it would automatically do it for a pre specified vm (unless it is already assigned to another vm in it's xml) Quote Link to comment
bubbl3 Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 The plugin would just need to manage devices XMLs and UDEV rules for hot plugging, there is a useful blog post here: http://rolandtapken.de/blog/2011-04/how-auto-hotplug-usb-devices-libvirt-vms-update-1 I did experiment with UDEV rules but wasn't able to make them work, even restarting UDEV the rules aren't applied when I plug usb devices.
