I want to set up a udev rule to run every time I plug in a USB drive that will connect that USB drive to connect to a VM in VirtualBox. The udev rule works to connect a USB drive to a running VM, but only once per boot. Someone please help me. I have the in /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usbmount.rules:
And this in /usr/bin/vbox-automount-usb:
EDIT:
I can make /etc/udev/rules.d/10-usbmount.rules work also by changing it to:
But it still only mounts a USB in VirtualBox for the first time
EDIT:
The same thing STILL happens when using
For /usr/bin/vbox-automount-usb
Code:
KERNEL=="sd*[!0-9]|sr*", ENV{ID_SERIAL}!="?*", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", RUN+="/usr/bin/vbox-automount-usb"Code:
#!/bin/bash
set `lsusb -d ${ID_VENDOR}:${ID_MODEL}| sed 's/:.*//g'`
while [ ! -z "$1" ]; do
case $1 in
Bus) shift
busdevice="$1"
;;
Device) shift
busdevice=${busdevice}"/$1"
;;
esac
shift
done
if [ ! -z "$busdevice" ]; then
address=$(VBoxManage list usbhost | grep "Address:" | grep $bus device | sed -e 's/Address://' -e 's/^[ \t]*//')
if [ ! -z "$address" ]; then
su - guestos -c "VBoxManage controlvm guestos_0001 usbattach $address"
