Are you sure you want exec as an option? I'd probably make it noexec
and nosuid, looks fine apart from that though. Again, I don't have
any vfat partitions lying around though..

Only reason you might want to make it exec is if you're using wine,
or if you have unix binaries on there.. which would be a bit odd
frankly.
