I ran both and got:

(Note I typed this, so there may be errors in the transcription)
If I shutdown the sys-net VM then sys-usb boots. Of course this also means that
sys-net fails to boot with the same error message. Now when I attach a flash
drive it automatically connects to sys-usb, instead of sys-net. How do I stop
sys-net from trying to request driver access? As long as sys-usb is active, I
am not able to boot any other VM. Everything fails silently.

I did mean sys-net. When the sys-usb VM is not booted and I have attach a usb
flash drive, I get a notification in the upper right hand corner saying
"Attached new device to sys-net /dev/sda". If I exit all VM's and boot the
sys-usb VM then it attaches to the sys-usb VM.
qvm-block -l gives:
sys-usb:sda Flash_Dis () 7 GiB
sys-usb:sda1 Flash_Disk (CHINA) 7 GiB.
I was mounting wrong... "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/removable/" works
(sda1 not sda). However, the folder is empty. I checked on my other laptop and
the flash drive is neither empty nor broken.
Thanks for your help!
