You can also say mount -t vfat /dev/hdxX /mount/point. It may be a bit faster in transfers, since the vfat driver is eitehr a module or compiled into the kernel directly.
| Both vfat and smbfs are part of the kernel. smbfs has nothing to do with the samba package, it just allows mounting filesystems via sharing (Either windows or samba). Both can be found under FileSystems in your kernel config.
If vfat is indeed faster in transfers it has nothing to do with it being either a "module of compiled into the kernel directly" but more with it meant for direct access and not networked access.
