Hi folks,
I do have a problem with usb pass through to a KVM machine, and dont know how to resolve it:
First i want to say i do use proxmox 1.9 with the latest updates and i have an Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS minimal kvm guest also with the latest updates.
On the guest there is a database and some software protected by a usb-dongle (to protect the database connection to other workstations in the network)
I did add the usb-dongle via
to the host and everything was fine for a couple of weeks until now.
But i had to do a reboot of the server because of a change in the /etc/vz/vz.conf file and now i am unable to passthrough the usb-dongle
At first the virtual machine did not start at all, and after removing the usb-dongle i could start up the machine.
When i try to replug the usb-dongle in the host, the virtual machine is crashing immediately!
i played around with the /etc/qemu-server/104.conf file (commented out the usbhost, enabled it again), but whatever i do, without usb there is no problem, as soon i plug in the dongle, the machine do not start up or crashes if it was running before.
In the syslog of the host and the guest i did not find anything about this problem.
I dont know what to do, but this virtual machine is very important, because this database is hosting all accounting information of the company i work for (bills, stock, etc)
Please anybody help me with this problem
