additional zipped folder vbox_usb_doc03 with screenshots of VirtualBox Manager showing effects of the overlay/overwrite of vb. VB is rendered useless until restarted, frequently a system restart/reboot is needed

comment:3 by Charles B. Mc Kennie, 11 years ago

Installed 4.2.4 and this still fails. Would a forced crash of VBoxSVC be worthwhile?

comment:4 by Charles B. Mc Kennie, 11 years ago

When I attempt to force VBoxSVC to give a crash report, I find that it has been terminated without any messages and without a crash report.

I am adding screenshot of Oracle VM Virtual Manager pane showing the loss of VBoxSVC.

Some suggestions . . .

comment:13 by Charles B. Mc Kennie, 10 years ago

now using VB v4.3.8 on OS X 10.0.2 and still VBoxSVC quits.

comment:14 by galitsyn, 10 years ago

Can't reproduce the issue here. Could you please specify the exact steps to reproduce?

comment:15 by Charles B. Mc Kennie, 10 years ago

using external USB hard drive (not flash/stick drive)

Fill in Filter as shown in https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/11038/VB_Filter%20-%20Blowout.png

After saving (OKing) the filter, unplug the external hard drive

Start up the Virtual Machine, Windows XP in my case

After Windows has settled, plug in the USB external hard drive

and the fun begins as you attempt to attach the device

Do notice https://www.virtualbox.org/attachment/ticket/11038/VB_Filter%20-%20No%20Blowout.png because VBocxSVC does not quit if the filter is as shown

comment:16 by galitsyn, 10 years ago

Thank you for the steps. Was able to reproduce the issue. Will look how it can be fixed.

comment:17 by Charles B. Mc Kennie, 10 years ago

now using VB v4.3.10 on OS X 10.9.2 and still VBoxSVC quits V4.3.10 to be replaced

now using VB v4.3.10 r93012 on OS X 10.9.2 and still VBoxSVC quits

Could you please try this test build and confirm the issue has been resolved for you? https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-4.3.11-93500-OSX.dmg

NOTE: you need to re-create USB Device filter!

VBoxSVC does not blow out - an improvement.

BUT

No USB device is presented to the Guest; No stick, no external hard drive

Testing using v4.3.10 extension pack

comment:20 by Charles B. Mc Kennie, 10 years ago

For SnG, replaced .11Testing with 4.3.10 with extension pack and tested with the 'new" filters. Results: No VBoxSVC quitting, but no access by the Guest to the device

comment:22 by Charles B. Mc Kennie, 10 years ago

No. Cant attach any thing

comment:23 by galitsyn, 10 years ago

Please make sure if no partition which belongs to USB storage device is mounted to the host (USB device should not be in use by host).

comment:24 by Charles B. Mc Kennie, 10 years ago

  1. Install .11Testing
  2. Delete all USB filters for a VM
  3. Create new USB filters for a VM
    1. USB stick

Could you please attach your VM config, "ioreg -l" output and "VBoxManage list usbhost" obtained on stage (6c). Also, please specify USB devices Vendor and Product IDs.

On stage 6c, are you able to see specified devices in VM menu -> Devices -> USB Devices? Able to check them?
