[Spice-devel] How do I redirect a USB stick with KVM?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I have KVM running Scientific Linux 6.6.

I am following this guide:
http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/USB_Host_Device_Assigned_to_Guest

Server side:
$ rpm -qa \*kvm\*
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6_6.2.x86_64

$ rpm -qa \*spice\*
spice-client-0.8.2-15.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-python-0.22-7.el6.x86_64
spice-vdagent-0.14.0-4.el6.x86_64
spice-gtk-0.22-7.el6.x86_64
spice-protocol-0.12.6-1.el6.noarch
spice-glib-0.22-7.el6.x86_64
spice-server-0.12.4-11.el6.x86_64

I have a (Kingston) 16 GB USB 3flash drive inserted.

$ lsusb | grep Kings
Bus 010 Device 006: ID 0951:16a2 Kingston Technology

I have a number of Fedora Core 21 Virtual Machines (VM)
set up for various things.  I am trying to redirect this
stick to one of them.

In virt-manager, I have "Redircted USB" and/or "USB Host Device"
set up. (Tried one, the other, and both.)

Inside Fedora, lsusb and File Manager do not show the flash
drive.

Spice client is running:
$ rpm -qa \*spice\*
spice-vdagent-0.15.0-3.fc21.x86_64

$ ps ax | grep spice
   778 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/sbin/spice-vdagentd
  1463 ?        Ss     0:00 /usr/bin/spice-vdagent
  1793 pts/0    S+     0:00 grep --color=auto spice

What am, I doing wrong?

Many thanks,
-T

Here is my VM's run string:
