Thread-topic: usb passthrough
If I understand the docs
(http://www.nabble.com/-RFC--PATCH-0-4--PVUSB:-add-paravirtualized-USB-s
upport-for-Xen-td22550607.html), I can't have a USB harddisk used by
Dom0 and also pass through another USB harddisk to DomU, because Dom0
will claim the device.

Is this a fundamental issue that can't be solved without a lot of
mucking around or is there an easier way around it?

Thanks

James
