Thank you !!! That does make the flash disk visible to the guest.
I had not tried that. Recall I'm usually running the guest headless so
I don't even see that menu. When I started in non-headless mode, it
works. But, while this shows that the pass-through can work, it doesn't
really solve my problem.
There doesn't appear to be any checkbox in the VBox settings to make
this automatic. And running headless, I won't normally be able to do
it. There must be some command I can run in the guest to accomplish the
same thing as the USB device menu. Perhaps I can put that command in
the guest's rc.local.
