Passthrough all onbaord USB controller?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

so before I do something really stupid :D would it be possible (and working of course) to connect my unraid usb stick to an additionally installed pcie usb card and then passthrough all onboard usb controller?

 

Thanks!

Thanks, thought someone would ask that ;) I would like to use the front USB and also the USB 2.0 header on my board for a vm. And theres no need for so much usb devices in unraid itself. I just started unraid plugged in the pcie card and it seems to work :)

Not surprised.  I've been finding that most new boards (at least the ones I've used as of late) have all the usb controllers in the same group, regardless of ACS override or not.  

 

Semi workaround is to leave the "permanent" usb devices being used for VM's (ie: keyboards & mice) utilizing the non-passed through controllers, and pass the device through to the VM when editing the VM template.  Best results though only on low bandwidth devices.
