You can use FAT32 partitions with beagle. Except it wont be as fast as
using extended attributes. (I dont think it will be unusably slow, but
YMMV).

*sigh* nops. I recently fixed a few outdated man pages. Documentation
in beagle really needs some help. Both man pages, wiki-help pages.

*** While I am on this, can someone using beagle-search change the
beagle picture on beagle-project.org main page ? Last I checked, it
was a picture of the outdated 'best'.

My guess is it'll take some time. Though /pub should be picked up and
traversed and indexed (unless there is some bug in detecting adding of
roots in real-time), you can stop and restart beagle to be fully sure.
