Hi Javier, Thanks for your advice. I'm running the USB enclosure (a HD) as portable storage drive to servers. I have to connect it to another server later when in need. I have another thought whether I can create the enclosure as an image on KVM? But even possible I have to recreate a new image next time connecting it to the guest. Any advice? TIA B.R.
