Really? If I plug in USB storage, I always have to futz around
with the VM's settings, manually select "add new USB device", find
the new USB storage device, and only then Windows 7 that's running
in my VM sees it.
My base OS is F21/Xfce and the VM is also F21/Xfce. This might have
something to do with USB seeming to work right.
This might be a new virtual USB hardware "device" that I have to
switch to, does anyone know this for sure? This is probably
somewhat similar to how audio support evolved over time. When I
set up my first Windows 7 VM, there was no audio passthrough from
the VM to the real audio. I kind of let it go, after Googling
that, on an off, for a year or so. A few releases of Fedora later,
a second Windows 7 VM install suddenly had sound. Comparing the
two VMs, the older one showed "Display: VNC", the new VM had
"Display: Spice". After changing the older VM's setting, I
suddenly had audio.
If KVM can now automatically grab USB storage if the VM has input
focus, this would certainly be a very nice jump in functionality,
if I could only figure out how to make it do that, now…
