Kext file ).The USB kext on OS X is loaded at the time of start of the system, this can be loaded / unloaded using kextload or kextunload command.

Block or Disable USB Port on Mac OS X by unloading the Kernel Extension USB storage devices can also be blocked or disabled by unloading the USB storage input /output kernel extension (. VMware Fusion tries to load its device drivers on app startup, so if every major device number is already occupied, the drivers won't start.Ī VMware employee presented some ways to find out which drivers are using major device numbers in this post: I had the same issue and it seems OS X only has a limited amount of major device numbers, which are used by many different device drivers.
