The bottom line is that automount still worked, and I was able to attach a USB device directly to a VM without having to go through the trouble of unmounting it first Q: How do you unmount a hard drive on a Mac A: The same way that Mac users have been dismounting drives on Macs since 1984.

It does it by serial number or by UUID (I haven't investigated enough to figure out which) but I had several FreeAgent Go drives of the exact same model and size and only one was auto attaching to the VM. "problem": USB Drive Will Not Mount, Not Listed in Disk Utilities, but Found In System Profiler How do I know this works? Well, I accidentally attached a FreeAgent Go drive and it wouldn't (as I perceived) mount in OS X. However, attaching the Logitech USB receiver would ultimately make the mouse inoperable on the host, so be careful what you attach. I can attach my Seagate FreeAgent Go, or my SanDisk Cruzer or any of the attached USB devices. You can find the USB filters under the "Settings" menu of the particualr VM you wish to assign it to.įor instance, my USB devices are are listed below that are available if I want to automatically attach it to my Windows 10 Pro VM. This allows you to automatically mount a particular USB device upon insertion. It's sort of like removing the doors on your car because every now and then you need to get in or out.įor this, I would use VirtualBox's built in USB Filters.
I think that modifying fstab to turn off automount is a bit excessive for what you are trying to do.
