USB device can not be used under guest OS

[dp_pan]

Hi,

My OS is FreeBSD 10, and I've updated VirtualBox to 4.3.16_ose r95972. When I attach a USB device on a running Windows 7, the guest OS panics. The error is:

Failed to construct 'USBProxy'/0! VERR_READ_ERROR (-111) - Generic file read error.

The USB device can used under the old version of VirtualBox.

Please help me fix the problem, thanks a lot.

A couple of hours ago there was an update to 4.13.18.

And then can the problem be fixed?

Seems not, it also doesn't work on my system. What's the reason to need the USB on the Virtualbox? The peripheral devices will be recognized by the Virtualbox. You can mount the USB on the host system and get or copy your files via rsync.

Have you read this? https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/arch-handbook/usb.html and https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/usb-disks.html.

By the way: where are the tags for code and url or link ?

I still have got Windows XP which uses a piece of hardware over USB filter. I cannot update beyond 4.3.12. There is a bug report about it: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=194196

You should all go there and confirm it.
