Hello to everyone.
Just for educational purposes I've virtualized MacOS with Virtualbox in FreeBSD. Problem is that Virtualbox does not support the USB 3.0/3.1 plugin/addon. So,I've thought to some ideas to overcome the problem. My idea is to use a tool called USB over IP,sharing the USB disks I have from an OS that can mount them to the MacOS that / which can't. At the beginning my idea was to install the server part on a bhyve virtual machine,let's say for example Linux or Windows. But I've soon realized that I can't run both bhyve and VirtualBOX at the same time. (if someone knows about a trick to do it,please share it) ; so,the only place where I can install it is on FreeBSD itself and I will install the client on the MacOS. And since there is no known USB over IP tool which can run on it (again : if someone knows about it,please share it), I'm evaluating virtualhere usb server :
www.virtualhere.com
and I tried to install it with the linuxulator. Surprisingly it started,but unfortunately it reported another error,telling that it can't find an IP protocol to communicate with the client :
I wanted to explore what could be done to fix this bug and I've opened a bug report here :
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=264835
Later,I've got an email that pointed me here :
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=264865
as you can read,someone replied,telling :
but is he talking about the "bug" that we are talking about at the beginning ? ,I mean this :
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=264835
because I'm not a programmer so I don't see which correlation there is between the two bug reports. Furthermore I don't have any UdpDataProtocol.cpp file on my FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE system. So,I don't know what to do now.
