Hello guys. I new in Rocky Linux.  
I am running Rocky Linux 9.1 totally updated.  
Yesterday I installed Oracle VirtualBox and it is working fine.  
After the installation I rebooted my host Rocky Linux 9 and I noted that my flash drive is no longer prompted to be mounted when it is inserted.  
I ran the following command and system can see my flash drive, but it is no longer prompting to mount it.

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Any one can help me with this issue please

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Angelo,  
Is this still an active issue ? If so, is the drive mounting without a prompt, or not mounting ? What would you like it to do ? What do you see with  
ls /dev/sd\*  
?  
Roger.

Hi, this may be a cause:  
I use a different VM, and if I am running that VM, the VM will automatically redirect the USB from the host OS (Rocky) to the VM.  
Then the USB is readable in the VM but not in Rocky.
