Hello.
Normally it works as it should, but sometimes I have trouble connecting a USB flash drive from my client to the VM via vSphere Client. It gets stuck at the connecting stage and I cannot cancel it. If I disconnect it from my computer and reconnect it, it returns to the stuck state.
If one is stuck and I try another, it will also get stuck. It can start to work again after a reboot of the VM, but I'm wondering if there is some service or something in ESXi I can check or restart to remedy this.
I usually don't eject the USB flash drive from Windows before disconnecting, as it "disappears" from the computer and I have to unplug/plugin again. Could that contribute to this?
It has happened on both Linux and Windows guests and on several hosts, both 5.0 and 5.1. The client runs in Windows 7 x64.
