Too bad it won't run 7.x. Here is the tread from when some of us were having the usb issues: ESXI USB reset A quick look at the log should help show if you are caught in this problem. IIRC, you should be able to add a 2nd USB device( UPS unit?) and that may fix it( no idea why) Also, if you have a spare PCI slots you can pass through acard with USB ports for the USB drive, but think you would need to boot from vmdk instead of Plop if it's not the USB reset issue, report back and will try to see what else is going on. Good luck.

Hi, I had a lot of USB issues using esxi 6.x. there's is a big thread on the issue I and others were having from a few years ago. The best fix for me was upgrading to esxi 7.x. it fixed all my USB issues and even better allows you to direct boot the VM off of the USB drive. No more plop or vmdk's, just boots and updates like it was on bare metal. If you can't upgrade to esxi 7.x for some reason, let us know if this was a working system that just started acting up or was it after an upgrade on either eexi or unraid. Also check your vmkernel.log for errors to point in the right direction.

Its mounting RW now. When I ran fsck from UD before posting it returned "appears to be OK". but in the system log: kernel: hfsplus: Filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, running fsck.hfsplus is recommended. mounting read-only. running fsck with -f fixed it. Is there a way to show the "not cleanly unmounted" msg from the syslog in the UD log? Thanks for the help dlandon. and Thanks (+gfjardim) for UD - it is very useful.

I am trying to Mount a hfsplus drive with UD. It wil only mount as read only. I dont know if this is by design or if I'm having a problem. It is a friends drive and I think journaling is enabled, but don't know if that is causing the Read Only. Is there anyway to make this writeable? Also, how can i verify hfsprogs is installed?
