[vox-tech] VMware and usb disks

[Donald G. McGahan]

Dylan,
I've had this happen as well and discovered that I tried to plug in the USB device when the virtual machine was not the focus causing the host to pick it up.
Could it be passably that simple?

I have a machine running linux and vmware, with a virtual machine running 
windows. I find that the first time i plug in a usb key I am able to access 
it from the virtual machine. every subsequent time i find that the 
usb_storage kernel driver in linux takes over and I cannot access the device 
in the virtual machine. 

is there any good way to tell hal / hotplug not to load the driver when VMware 
is running >?

thanks in advance!
