Hello, I am not a linux expert at all... please be kind.
I am running Ubuntu 64-bit ARM 22.04.4 Jammy within VMware Fusion 13 player on an M3 Macbook Air and I am having a bit of a strange issue.
It is not handling external drives correctly. I have a 2tb nvme drive in a usb-c enclosure, it is partitioned into 2 partitions, 1 exFAT partition and 1 EXT4 partition. I know the drive is working correctly because the exfat partition is accessible on both my Mac host and my windows PC, and both partitions are accessible via desktop mode on my Steam Deck. However when I passthrough the usb device to the Ubuntu Arm VM I get really strange behavior... first it takes about 10 mins of doing absolutely nothing before finally showing the drive in the partition manager, however it lists both partitions as "unknown" and does not attempt to mount them. I have put links to screenshots of both the VM and the Steam Deck showing that the drive is working fine on the Deck but not in the VM. Please assist!
