target filesystem type?

ext3

With "mount -o bind /var/spool/sorcery/CACHE/ sorcery" works OK.

  1. mount | grep sorcery
    /dev/sda7 on /var/spool/sorcery type ext3 (rw)
    /var/spool/sorcery/CACHE on /var/cache/sorcery type none (rw,bind)

It worked for me when I tried it, but more importantly, I don't know why I didn't mention the correct way to do this back then. Just set INSTALL_CACHE to the new path, no need to symlink anything.
