I usually tend to add the fstab entry for vfat so only gid is provided 
and have a special group to access the partition, so I won't be 
constrained at only one user, but a whole Linux group, to which I can 
add or remove users from. However for personal use and if you are the 
only person that uses the computer, the method is Ok.
