usb redirection rejected

[Kenneth Armstrong]

Here's my setup:

I have a Fedora 17 host, with a CentOS 6.3 guest, both fully updated.

I set up 3 USB Redirection devices for my CentOS guest, and using spicy, I
plugged in my 500GB USB 2.0 EXT4 formatted drive and selected it for
redirection.

I get the error message stating: "USB redirection error" "Seagate FreeAgent
rejected by host"

I look at the /var/log/libvirt/qemu/guest.log file and see this: "qemu-kvm:
warning: speed mismatch trying to attach usb device USB Redirection Device
to bust usb.0"

I have attempted various USB ports on my host system with the same results.

Any thoughts as to what could be going on?

Thanks.

Yes, your vm is configured to only emulate a USB-1 controller. Assuming you're
managing it with virt-manager, open it there, go to the details view, then the
usb controller and change the type from "default" to 2.
