System info:
FreeNAS Version: FreeNAS-11.2-U4.1
16GB of RAM.
I'm running libvirtd and qemu, configuring things via virt-manager. My host OS is Pop_OS 18.04, so basically Ubuntu 18.04.
My issue:
I'm trying to mount an external USB 3 drive so I can backup my data to it.
I'm not sure why, but when I tell virt-manager to use a usb3 controller, I can't mount the drive. If I set it to the default usb2 controller, it mounts.
I was hoping that usb3 would improve my data transfer rate.
For whatever reason, I am unable to add more than 1 USB controller to my vm. I believe that's a limitation of libvirtd, or qemu.
Below is the output I think is useful from the various things I have tried.
(I'm new to the forum, would this have been better posted as a gist or pastebin?)
With USB Controller using usb2:
--------------- Start usb2 output ----------------------
--------------- End usb2 output ----------------------
With USB Controller set to usb3:
--------------- Start usb3 output ----------------------
--------------- End usb3 output ----------------------
I spent several hours searching this forum, and Google, to find help. What I've tried effectively boils down to the output I've shared here.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I think I've shared the system info you would need, let me know if I missed something.
Thanks in advance. :)
