No idea how it started, but some people started recommending mounting
usbfs at /sys/bus/usb/drivers to fix USB problems in Virtualbox, and the
people who maintain the USB FAQ on forums.virtualbox.org caught onto it;
however this breaks at least NetworkManager, and rather annoyed the
author of that software, so we added that message as a courtesy.

VirtualBox 3.0.10 does not even use usbfs by default (but you need to be
a member of the "vboxusers" group to access USB devices).  So I suggest
that you try removing the entry in /etc/fstab - you can still get back
to us if causes any issues.

Regards,

Michael
