   Possibilities:   
      
           tz=UTC This option disables the conversion of timestamps   
                  between  local  time  (as used by Windows on FAT)   
                  and UTC (which Linux uses internally).   This  is   
                  particularly  useful  when mounting devices (like   
                  digital cameras) that are set to UTC in order  to   
                  avoid the pitfalls of local time.   
      
           time_offset=minutes   
                  Set  offset  for  conversion  of  timestamps from   
                  local time used by FAT  to  UTC.   I.e.,  minutes   
                  will be subtracted from each timestamp to convert   
                  it to UTC used internally by Linux.  This is use-   
                  ful when the time zone set in the kernel via set-   
                  timeofday(2) is not the time  zone  used  by  the   
                  filesystem.  Note that this option still does not   
                  provide correct time stamps in all cases in pres-   
                  ence of DST - time stamps in a different DST set-   
                  ting will be off by one hour.
