docs: add USB optical drive passthrough note
Recommend passing optical drives by port rather than vendor/device ID due to re-enumeration during disc spin-up. Include lsusb -t discovery and /dev/sr0 note for MakeMKV/HandBrake in VM 101. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

**USB optical drives:**
|
||||
|
||||
Pass a USB optical drive to VM 101 (Desktop) for ripping with MakeMKV or
|
||||
HandBrake. Use **Method B (by port)** rather than by vendor/device ID — some
|
||||
optical drives briefly re-enumerate when a disc spins up, which can cause the
|
||||
device to drop and reconnect if bound by ID.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Find the port your drive is on:
|
||||
lsusb -t
|
||||
# Then pass it to VM 101:
|
||||
qm set 101 -usb1 host=<bus>-<port> # e.g. host=2-3
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Inside VM 101 the drive appears as `/dev/sr0`. MakeMKV and HandBrake will
|
||||
find it automatically.
