I think the correct syntax is fat:32:rw:. But one of the first
things it does is:

warn_report("FAT32 has not been tested. You are welcome to do so!");

So probably nobody would be surprised if it broke.

 That should be fine but it isn't important.
 On a related topic would you know if it is possible to use fat32 instead

I do actually need it for some of my VM's. It makes sharing of folder between
