I think we require NTFS with the installers but you can install the
source on anything:
http://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Running_%26_Installing_PostgreSQL_On_Native_Windows#Can_I_install_PostgreSQL_on_a_FAT_partition.3F
For this reason, the PostgreSQL installer package will not initialise a
database cluster on anything but an NTFS partition. The server and
utilities may be installed on any partition type.
