I have experience only with distfiles on vfat partition. generally it can be that way but without lockfile and cvs and svn. and probably resume on unfinished downloads corrupts files but I'm not sure about it. To avoid very complex setup i steal space from vfat in favor of ext3 to put distfiles on. -- Linux 2.6.15-ck7 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ 07:28:29 up 5:04, 5 users, load average: 1.25, 1.13, 1.10 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
