You should be more precise: which are the directories on your SD card, which ones on the USB drive? Are you still "Switched to USB" or did you use "Switch to SD Card"? You said "I didn't even know this option existed ": which option?
I was also using "Switch to USB", now I am "running from the SD card" having only the config, linux and Scripts directories on the SD card, all other directories being on the USB drive but on the SD card I have symlinks to all these directories. Everything is working as it should, the only annoyance is when I turn on my MISTer or reboot it I get "No Files" in the OSD and I have to press F12 twice to see Arcade, Consoles, ...
I just noticed you are the Puzzlebobble guy, see also

Thanks for the reply. I try to no keep a post to long as people don't read all of it.
"The option that existed" was the fact that you don't now need to use the 'switch to USB' option or even use symlinks to have everything just work, that was the "nice surprise"
The system is now in 'switch to SD card' the SD card has 'Linux, _Arcade, _Consoles, configs and all other directories that aren't User content (games etc)..... and the only directories contained on USB storage are 'Games, Amiga, AtariST, ScummVM.
My intention yesterday was to then go through and set up symlinks as per your "Puzzlebobble" reply, I get so little time I've only just got around to it now. I moved everything just like I wrote above, rebooted and to my surprise everything just worked ZERO user made symlinks. Turns out that at some point Sorg updated Linux so that as long as the default directory structure is kept it doesn't matter where user content are stored the System automatically looks in SD - USB - CIFS in that order.... As you're still using symlinks maybe like me you missed that update
It neither fixed my Puzzlebobble issue and since then any VHD in Ao486 crashes and has errors, at this point I'm starting to think maybe my USB SSD is starting to die.
Thanks for the other replies by the way, like I said I get so little time I only just got round to trying things.
