exFAT USB Drive in Ubuntu 2004 VM

[DrKeks]

Hello, I am new to TrueNas, and I struggle with copy files to a exFAT USB Drive.

I see, that there is no support for exFAT in Truenas Core 12.

I would like to try it with a VM (Ubuntu Server 2004) and mount the disk there.

But how can I mount a USB drive connected to the TrueNAS Pc inside a VM?

You could try adding a device to the VM of type PCI Passthrough.

You would need to pass through the entire USB controller as I understand it though, so that would mean identifying which controller is which port (and also doing the work to identify the PCI device correctly).

This page may help (although I concede it's a very complicated topic that I haven't tackled in full myself): https://wiki.freebsd.org/bhyve/pci_passthru
