USB mount and passthrough for freerdp

[LittleITworld]

Hello!
How do I mount a USB device with drive letter H, so that I can see it when iam connected to my terminal Server?
Currently my config looks like this, but it doesnt mount my USB device.

If I put /drive:H,/mnt/usbdevice into the session_0_freerdp_options, I get a blackscreen with a cursor after booting the image.

Config:
RECONNECT_PROMPT=force
AUDIO_LEVEL=90
MIC_LEVEL=90
ICONMODE=AUTO
ALWAYS_ENTER_SERVER=Off
ALLOW_EXIT=Off

SESSION_0_TITLE="Main"
SESSION_0_TYPE=freerdp
SESSION_0_FREERDP_SERVER=IP-ADDRESS
SESSION_0_FREERDP_OPTIONS="/cert-ignore -sec-nla /d:DOMAIN /bpp:32 /rfx /gfx:AVC444 /sound:sys:pulse +auto-reconnect /auto-reconnect-max-retries:0 +heartbeat +fonts /u: /p:"

SET_RESOLUTION_MULTIMONITOR_EXPAND='mirror'
SET_RESOLUTION_MULTIMONITOR_AUTOSCALE='scale'

packages included in build.conf:
usb-storage
automount
udisks
udisks glue
ts-classic

Drop automount, and set UDISKS_AUTOMOUNT=true in thinstation.conf.buildtime then add /drive:hotplug,* in your freerdp options.

I can see and connect to my terminal server now without black screen but I cant see my USB device when I plug it in. I need it mapped as H:

Are you using xfwm?

No Iam connecting directly to my terminal Server and want to use my USB devices in there. Do I need to add the xfwm package?

Yes, you need xfwm in session0 to glue a few things together.

Possibly you could do it without a wm, but I think you have to run as root and put automount back in, and drop udisks.

Ive tried it with xfwm as my main session (excluding my terminal session) and I can see the name of my USB device but its not automatically mounting the device and I cant mount it manually. I get the following message "Error mounting /dev/sda1 at /media/F208-33B4: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'." Ive included module vfat, ext4 and usb-storage in my build.conf and it doesnt matter which package I include (automount, udisks).

You likely need exfat module

My bad, my kernel config was missing exfat support. I could swear I made this change a long time ago, must have gotten lost in a shuffle. I have put it back in, recompiled and updated the kernel. Please try the latest push, and include exfat.

Thank you, I can see and use my USB device now in my xfwm session! But I cant see it in my terminal session. Ive disabled automount, set udisks true and added the option for freerdp :/

do you see gvfs share in your RDP session?

[LittleITworld]

No I dont see anything in my RDP session (only in my xfwm session).

You need to add +drives to your freerdp options then.

I can see it now, but it keeps disappearing. It looks like its connected-disconnected every 5 seconds.
I saw our old network.conf and the options stated "/vc:ftrdpbr drive:H,/mnt/usbdevice" but it isnt working with it.

The mountpoint with udisks is at /media
