There is an ext2/3 addon that should work, but I'm not sure if it works
for writing yet.
Same for reiserfs.
FAT should work, but is really really discouraged for holding source
codes.
The way FAT keeps time is too crappy to work with make (and likely jam
as well).
There is an ongoing port of Samba but I don't know how far it is (the
old versions might work with restrictions), but those don't include
kernel file system clients, so you can't "mount" shares directly.
I tried using NFS, but it's really slow. I don't plan on working
further on the v2 client though, instead of adding caching to it I'd
rather write a brand new NFSv4.
I just thought about HFS, but I'm not sure we have a client, and it's
case insensitive anyway.
Maybe NTFS would actually be a good candidate ?
