Hi, all

I want to ask if openstack support USB passthrough now?

Or if I want the instance to recognize the USB flash drive on the host, do you have any suggestions?

Thanks, Han

This isn't supported in nova and probably never will be. The closest you can get is to passthrough an entire USB controller as suggested by this blog [1], but that's really a hack and I 100% would not use it in production. Stephen [1] https://egallen.com/openstack-usb-passthrough/
