Comment(by alsroot):

 Replying to [ticket:995 jpritikin]:
 > The problem is the journal when we boot SOAS. The journal correctly
 shows "journal" storage and USB storage separately. However, when I click
 on USB storage, I get a progress bar that seems to wait forever. At this
 point, there is nothing else on the SOAS key besides SOAS so I wouldn't
 expect it to take a long time to scan the top level directory (or
 wherever) and display the files as being on the USB key.

 After fixing #1412, sugar will process usb drives like XO-802 does.

 > On the other hand, when we insert the SOAS key into an XO laptop (build
 802), it shows all the files. This is not ideal because all the syslinux
 and LiveOS files are there, but it is tolerable. User files are visible.
 >
 > In brief, it should be possible to copy files from within SOAS to the
 top-level directory (or somewhere) of the USB key so they are visible to
 an XO laptop.

 Maybe create to partitions on usb drives, one for soas and another for
 users files. So, user open second partition and only his files.
