August 14, 20214 yr Hi there, I am looking for a bit of help in the past months I have been working with Unraid also using the VM function for day to day usage. Everything is working great. I have a Linux machine with GPU passthrough and installed on a dedicated SSD drive. The only problem I have is USB, I can't split up my onboard USB controllers to assign one or more ports to the VM. The problem with that is that I have to stop the vm assign a specific device and boot the vm again to connect a device. Now I tried to solve this by installing a PCI-E USB controller. It should be working with linux but ineed... It doesn't show up. I shipped it back for a refund. Now my question to the communtiy is, what PCI-E would work with unraid? Does anyone has experience with this?
