If it has its own partition table as you say, it should be safe to divide it into up to four logical partitions, so we make part of it ext3 perhaps. No loop mount of an ext3 file sitting on a fuse filesystem. It should be much faster and more stable, I would think. I will try that when I get some time. The first logical partition probably needs to stay vfat so it will mount without modifying fstab.
