this is more a question for nepomuk than plasma active.

removable media is also a different beast from network media for a variety of 
reasons (not least of all is that random access I/O is less likely on network 
services)

so i'd probably start by refining the problem statement to include specific 
types of systems, e.g. "volumes where async, random access i/o is possible", 
"volumes that can be read from and written to, but only atomically", "volumes 
that can only be read from" and then looking at possible solutions there.

the way you phrased it, my guess is that you are thinking about how to store 
the nepomuk data *with* the data, e.g. having a nepomuk database on a 
removable disk that gets used whenever the disk is inserted?

and i hope you're asking the question because you're thinking of writing code 
to address these issues?
