Hi there.. Attempting to add USB support to Virtualbox, I am greeted with
mount: unknown filesystem type 'usbfs'
after adding
none /vbusbf usbfs devgid=113,devmode=664 0 0
to /etc/fstab


Any ideas where I can find usbfs?
Thanks,-t

Update: Apparently it works without usbfs now. Just adding myself to the usb-users groups solved the problem.. Sorry for wasting time.

I wouldn't consider it wasting time. :)

Your solution might be helpful to someone else having the same issue.

But, didn't adding your user to the vboxusers group fix the issue? It should have instead of you having to add the user to the usb-users group as well.
