I'm using the binary version of virtualbox. When I plug the pen drive on Gentoo, it mount it for my host usage. When I go to the virtualbox menu usb devices and mark the checkbox for my pen drive, the pen drive is unmounted on the host and mounted on the guest (btw, Windows XP). The inverse process occurs when a uncheck the usb on the virtualbox usb devices menu. Guess, are you using the open source of virtualboxes ? I think there are difference in the usb usability betweek binary and open source version. --0016e6d6417787774b047d964f7c Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

This doesn't happen with me. I'm using the binar= y version of virtualbox. When I plug the pen drive on Gentoo, it mount it f= or my host usage. When I go to the virtualbox menu usb devices and mark the= checkbox for my pen drive, the pen drive is unmounted on the host and moun= ted on the guest (btw, Windows XP). The inverse process occurs when a unche= ck the usb on the virtualbox usb devices menu.

Guess, are you using the open source of virtualboxes ? I think there ar= e difference in the usb usability betweek binary and open source version.
