vmware下为linux挂载(mount) u盘(usb device)

qintel

Add usb device in VMware

Prequisite:
1) Make sure your host O/S does not have it mounted or loaded.
2) use fdisk -l look The usb device was mounted or not.
3)mkdir /mnt/usb
4)mount /dev/sd(a,b,c)(1,2,3) /mnt/usb
note: Make sure /proc/bus/usb is mounted as filesystem type usbfs.
# mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb
notes1: On Linux hosts, VMware Workstation uses the USB device file system to connect to USB devices. In most Linux systems that support USB, the USB device file system is at
/proc/bus/usb.
If your host operating system uses a different path to the USB device file system, run the following command as root to mount the file system to the expected location:
mount -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb

notes2: In VMware, Edit the virtual machine settings-> Add a usb controller-> Rebooting the virtual machine-> Enable(load) the usb device in "VM"-"Removable Devices"-"USB deivces"
This will be extremely useful since the MultiClamp is connected through usb port and we can use some portable hard drive with the virtual machine to pass the data to the host machine
