Description
I'm using gentoo, kernel 4.4.26, VB version 5.1.10. Also I have an external disk seagate 3tb st3000dm001 in its native external enclosure (with usb3). I get a contradiction. On the host (gentoo) it is seen as a disk ONLY if the module "uas" (USB attached SCSI) is loaded. Otherwise, only as some usb controller. In the guest (w7pro) it appears as a disk ONLY if the "uas" module of the host is disabled. Otherwise, again only as some attached usb device. I could reproduce it several times in a row. With and w/o a reboot.
Technically I can insert/remove the "uas" module depending on a situation. Also, I'm not sure is it a problem of "uas" module or VB, but the pattern is clear.
Any suggestions to solve/improve this behaviour?
May I suggest something? It's usually better and faster, if problems like this one (configuration) get first addressed in the forums (https://forums.virtualbox.org/). More than 95% of the issues are resolved over there, which keeps the developers focusing on the bug fixes and enhancements, and there is no need for another ticket to keep track of.
