VMWare 6.0.x and USB in Guest Machine on openSUSE 10.3
So you fire up your openSUSE 10.3 machine and install VMWare 6.0.2 and your really excited because now you have USB 2.0 support. You plug in your Thumb / USB HardDrive and nothing. You don’t see it in your guest machine, but you do on your host. What can be causing this? Easy usbfs is set to noauto.
You can confirm this by running:
grep usb cat /etc/fstab
You can login to your favorite editor and change it to auto and you are good to go.
I will add a quick howto on my Wiki for future references
