Hmm, I know I haven't tested much, just copied a few files back and forth. But at any rate a new version of Vbox and a new one of Slackware have been released. Maybe I should do some tests on that version too ;) Thanks for the input! S. Really?

The solution: You must edit rc.S to mount usbfs with rw permissions for other users (I used `wheel' group): <code> /sbin/mount -v usbfs /proc/bus/usb -t usbfs -o devgid=10,devmode=0664 </code> The problem:

In Slackware 11, usbfs is mounted from rc.udev with

mount usbfs -t usbfs /proc/bus/usb -o devgid=10,devmode=0666

In Slackware 12, usbfs is mounted from rc.S with

/sbin/mount -v usbfs /proc/bus/usb -t usbfs

Which means that only root is able to rw in usbfs.

The solution:
You must edit rc.S to mount usbfs with rw permissions for other users (I used `wheel’ group):

/sbin/mount -v usbfs /proc/bus/usb -t usbfs -o devgid=10,devmode=0664
