external usb device and ballooning fails to start

[valshare]

Hi,

today i have updated a server to use ballooning, but it fails to start. If i disable ballooning or delete the args parameter for the external usb device, it works.

Is there a chance to get working both, ballooning and the external usb device?

if i fire up the machine, i get an error:

root@proxmox01:/var/lib/vz/images# qm start 500

the config, that works with proxmox 2.2:

Yes, you should use the 'usb0' configuration option instead of 'args', something like:

usb0: host=1-9

see 'man vm.conf' for details.
