i'm perusing the user guide for virtualbox and i read the following:
"In order to use VirtualBox’s USB support, the user account under which you intend to run VirtualBox must have read and write access to the USB filesystem (usbfs)."
isn't that statement a bit out of date? i don't see usbfs in use any more on a standard fedora system, so i'm just assuming that claim above is out of date.
$ grep usb /proc/mounts /proc/bus/usb /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw 0 0
$ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)
whoops, you're right, i was just looking at the output of "mount". my fault. so how would i technically add R/W access to that filesystem for my user account? is that a udev feature? thanks.
