[dundee] USB in Xen Guest

[gordon dunlop]

I have a problem in trying to get USB e.g. flash media to be picked up in a
Centos 5.2 Xen guest. I have amended my guest configuration file in /etc/xen
to read:

usb=1
# find vid and pid with lsusb
usb="host:vid:pid"

I couldn't pick up anything in the Xen guest, other people has had the same
problems. Whilst I have mapped my dvdrom drive from the physical drive to
the Xen guest so I can do data transfer no problem via removable media, I
would still like to use my USB flash drive working in a Xen guest. Other
methods such as PCI forwarding is unstable or does't work for others. Does
anyone know of a reliable method (that works) for using USB in a Xen guest.
