Hi Andi,
That makes sense. Maybe a simpler question is how do I actually mount my USB hard drive to the host? I received the following output from dmesg through ssh after plugging in the external HDD:
2013-01-11T00:50:37Z usbarb[2840]: USBArb: Device 0:name:MelCo.\ HD-PZU3 vid:0411 pid:01f9 path:1/2 speed:high family:storage version:2 serialnum:010A0000010A id:10007041101f9 owner:(null)
And also the following from /dev/usbdevices which is the correct device and it says its available for passthrough, so I figure I just need to know how to mount it as a datastore.

Thanks for your responses!
