I am annoyed with using vfat on my USB flash drives because I cannot
get proper permissions and ownership. Not for the security (meaningless
on a drive that easy to steal, unless encrypted), but annoying anyway.
Is there any technical reason I should not repartition it as something else
-- ext3 or xfs, say -- and allow executables and such?
