Dmitry Zavalishin, the author of Phantom OS (which "eliminates filesystems"), was asked the question about removable storage when he was giving a talk about the OS at HighLoad++ in 2009.

His idea is to start a separate Phantom VM for a removable media which then can be seen as another "host" accessible via "network". AFAIU, this means Phantom's native IPC is substituted by some protocol. Smells somewhat like Plan 9 to me.
