Hi,
The mentioned changes worked for adding a shared folder but while adding
usb it gave an error saying:
*error: Failed to attach device from /root/test/addingusb.xml
error: An error occurred, but the cause is unknown*
The xml file is given below:
<hostdev mode='subsystem' type='usb'>
<source>
<vendor id='0x4321'/>
<product id='0xfeeb'/>
</source>
</hostdev>
Can you tell me what shall I do remove this error?
