Thank you. I tried the sparse image, but it seems it is very slow?
It takes me more than 2 minutes to copy 147MB files from $HOME/Gentoo
to /Volumes/Gentoo.

I just did 140M of MP3s in about 15 seconds. I suppose that it could
be slower if I had a lot of little files. I haven't updated my
prefix in a long time so I can't give you day-to-day usage speed for
compiles and syncs, etc.
One thing to check is how quickly your sparseimage expands when it
gets full. I'm pretty sure that you can tweak this behavior when
creating your sparseimage from the command line. I created my prefix
so long ago that I can't remember what configuration I used for it.
