Systemd unit for automounting usb devices over usbip

This is shamelessly ripped from [larsks sysetemd-usb-gadget][https://github.com/larsks/systemd-usb-gadget]

Installation

To install the systemd unit, run make install in the source directory, which will place the support scripts into /sbin and the systemd unit into /etc/systemd/system.

Server Configuration

Create one or files in /etc/usbip-devices named <device_name>.conf. These files must contain the following configuration keys:

• USB_IDVENDOR -- Vendor ID.
• USB_IDPRODUCT -- Product ID.

For example, to share a device with vendor:product 03f0:8607, create a file called /etc/usbip_devices/mouse.conf

USB_IDVENDOR=03f0
USB_IDPRODUCT=8607

To enable the device at boot, run:

systemctl enable usbip-device@mouse

To share the device immediately:

systemctl start usbip-device@mouse

To stop sharing it:

systemctl stop usbip-device@mouse

Client Configuration

Client part is configured very similar to server one, with a few additions:

• files in /etc/usbip-devices must be named <device_name>.import.conf
• besides USB_IDVENDOR and USB_IDPRODUCT there should also be HOST key, identifying hostname or IP address of the server that shares USB device

Example:

USB_IDVENDOR=03f0
USB_IDPRODUCT=8607
HOST=192.168.1.54

To enable attaching to remote device at boot, run:

systemctl enable usbip-import@mouse

To attach device:

systemctl start usbip-import@mouse

To detach device:

systemctl stop usbip-import@mouse
