USB Drive will not mount in OSX Guest in VMWare Fusion
I have a Yosemite (10.10.2) host with a Mavericks (10.9.5) guest in VMWare 7.
I have a seagate 3TB drive mounted on Yosemite.
I connect the seagate to the guest using the icon on the toolbar. The icon for the drive disappears off of the Yosemite desktop, but never appears on the Mavericks desktop.
In addition, it can not be seen in these places (on the guest) either:
- in the sidebar of finder.
- In /Volumes
- In Disk Utility.
Here is what I tried:
1) I tried rebooting the guest several times.
2) I tried repair disk on the usb drive.
3) I tried disconnecting and connecting several times.
4) I tried unmounting it from the guest and host, then disconnecting and reconnecting while the guest was connected.
5) I tried looking in console for any errors related to the disk.
In summary:
It will appear as connected in the icon on the toolbar of vmware, but will not appear in the guest.
The contents of the disk is a Carbon Copy Cloner bootable image.

I am experiencing the same issue, though with OS X 10.9.x Mavericks host and macOS Sierra 10.12.4 guest and LaCie D2 USB3 external hard drive. I have upgraded to VMware Fusion Pro 8.5.6 and it still persists. The odd thing is that the LaCie drive shows as connected to the USB3 bus in System Report under the guest OS.

Note: This a comment but I do not have the rep to post one officially here, yet. I'm more than happy to delete it/have it deleted after the OP has seen it (or have it converted, if that is possible).
It may be worth knowing what the advance USB options are for this virtual machine (Settings -> USB & Bluetooth -> Advanced USB options). There is also the Enable Verbose USB debugging option under Settings -> Advanced which could be helpful here.

Same problem here. A year later my OSX 10.11.4/Fusion 8.1.0 suddenly, like last week, stopped letting me access my development Android devices from a VM. This is Fusion, the only advanced option you could try flipping USB 3 or 2. USB logging doesn't show anything, because it doesn't attempt to mount anything...
