Hello! I need to create a VM and passthrought some host USB port to it. Sadly libvirt doesn’t support QEMU built-in feature to use -hostport argument (which was added 10 years ago…). I tried to add custom arguments to domain (qemu:commandline) but this didn’t work. When I just run qemu-system-x86_64 -device host-usb,hostbus=X,hostport=Y -usb everything works well. It seems like libvirt restricts some QEMU actions. How can I fix this? OS: Debian 12

I could never get that to work for some of my devices,so I had to use virtualbox,which works very well.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
