Hello,
I'm assessing Proxmox at the moment and trying to passthrough a PCIe USB3 card but it's not working correctly.
I have blacklisted the driver and created a modprobe .conf file to tell virtio to grab the card, however the driver is still reported as
I read another post who had similar issues, it was suggested to try the passthrough anyway, which does indeed work in my case too, however this results in some weird behaviour inside the guest.
While the guest can see devices plugged into the card they do not behave as expected, for example if I plug a USB stick into the card and try to copy files to the guest then I am given a "the filename you've specified is either invalid or too long" message (even though the file is called test.mp4) though if I play the video file directly from the USB stick in the guest it works.
I've also tried plugging a UPS into the guest, which results in the battery indicator popping up, but when installing the UPS software it cannot detect the UPS...
Both these devices work on bare metal with no issue, I have tried both Ubuntu, Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 guests, all of which have similar issues (though not identical) so my suspicion is that there is some issue with the passthrough and the
Also of interest:
I originally tried plugging the devices into the on-board USB ports of the machine and passing them through as USB devices, this also had exactly the same issue.
Which lead me to trying the USB card to rule out on-board shenanigans.
FWIW I also tried a different USB card in case I had a duff one but the fault remains.
I have managed to succesfully passthrough an nVidia GPU to another machine as a test to make sure VFIO was working, this correctly uses the
I have updated initramfs and rebooted in-between every change I've made to be safe.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as this will unfortunately be a blocker to us rolling out Proxmox org wide due to our reliance on our vendors UPS software
