Comment(by axeld):

 This appears to be a duplicate of #2590. The new part is that you could
 reproduce this on real hardware as well, which is *very* strange to say
 the least.

 With VMware the problem seems to be that it will also mirror the original
 image on the other controller. While Haiku thinks there are two different
 volumes, changes to the second will only always change the first. The
 second is not touched at all. This should be pretty easy to check for.

 You can prove that this is a VMware problem by running "sudo lsof | grep
 vmdk" on the Linux host. This will show that VMware opened haiku.vmdk
 twice, but haiku_copy.vmdk not at all. I have no idea why it does so,
 changing the UUID of the second disk does not help.

 So let's concentrate on the hardware case as the rest is irrelevant for
 Haiku. What did you do exactly, is it reproducible, and what is the end
 result? If you delete a file from the HD, will it be gone from the USB
 stick at next boot? Are you sure you really removed the files from the
 right disk? Can you use the Terminal to make sure? Ie. the following might
 help:

 {{{
 $ df
 $ cd /Haiku1
 $ rm -rf beos
 }}}
