+
+This requires qubes-core-appvm-1.0.1 of higher.
+
+1.  Insert your USB stick.
+
+1.  In Dom0 konsole (running as normal user) do:
+
+``` {.wiki}
+xm block-attach <vmname> phy:/dev/sdb1 /dev/xvdi w
+```
+
+This assumes that your stick is seen by Dom0 kernel as **/dev/sdb** and you're mounting its first partition, so **/dev/sdb1** (the usual case).
+
+1.  Open Dolphin file manager in the AppVM. Your stick should be visible in the "Places" panel on the left. Just click on the device.
+
+1.  When you finish using your USB stick, right-click its icon in Dolphin and chose "Safely Remove \<Your stick name\>".
+
+1.  Back to Dom0 konsole -- in order to unmount the stick do the following:
+
+``` {.wiki}
+xm block-detach random /dev/xvdi
+```
+
+1.  You can remove the device.
+
+Needless to say, we will be adding support for USB mounting to our GUI Qubes Manager so that the user will not need to use console in Dom0 -- just click a button. Coming soon, stay tuned!
