The OP was about vfat partitions. If you decide to go that way (with vfat),
just as an addition to what I have wrote, do as Jerry Feldman suggests:
<cite>
You can click on "Mountable by user" and "Do not mount on system startup".
This means that those partitions will not be mounted automatically, and the
user may mount them manually.
</cite>
Actually I have never used a usb removable drive, so I do not know how the
auto mounter handles different partitions, etc.
Maybe someone else can explain more.
