tl;dr
-> Yes. Looks like emulated USB 2.0 works fine with g_mass_storage.
This is the perfect thing we need to run automated tests of
the USB installer, persistence, and probably more :)
Step-by-step:
$ sudo modprobe dummy-hcd is_high_speed=1
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.usb bs=1M count=2048
$ sudo modprobe g_mass_storage file=/tmp/test.usb removable=1
Then I use qemu-kvm + libvirt USB 2.0 passthrough to lend that virtual
USB mass storage device to a VM, which I boot from a Tails 0.12 ISO,
that I clone onto the virtual USB device using the Tails
USB installer.
Then I unplug the virtual CD drive, and boot the same VM from the
virtual USB mass storage device, onto which I successfully setup
a Tails persistent volume. Rebooting, enabling the persistent volume
does work.
Note: if dummy-hcd is loaded with is_super_speed=1, looks like my
qemu/kvm VM can't see the virtual USB drive. Probably because qemu-kvm
only knows how to deal with USB 2.0, not 3.0.
Cheers,
