When I plug the pen drive on Gentoo, it mount it for my host usage. When I |
| 31 |
go to the virtualbox menu usb devices and mark the checkbox for my pen |
| 32 |
drive, the pen drive is unmounted on the host and mounted on the guest (btw, |
| 33 |
Windows XP). The inverse process occurs when a uncheck the usb on the |
| 34 |
virtualbox usb devices menu. |

Guess, are you using the open source of virtualboxes ? I think there are |
| 37 |
difference in the usb usability betweek binary and open source version. |
