Re: [libvirt-users] accessing USB as storage device through lxc container.

Hi all, I am not able to access USB as storage device in the lxc container. Having tried to pass the usb device with the product and vendor id, not able to see the device mounted in the lxc file system.

However, they are seen as char devices in the container at the location. There is no issue of ACL, as the capabilities restrictions have been dropped. Has anyone successfully mounted the storage device in the libvirt. Having gone through the libvirt documentation, couldnt find further information of enabling the usb as storage device. Any pointers towards that would be useful.
