Dear Michael, The MS_VERBOSE in mountflags option of mount system call was replaced by MS_SILENT in Kernel version 2.6.17 (http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=9b04c997b1120feefa1e6ee8e2902270bc055cd2 ). The LKML thread regarding this commit: http://linux.derkeiler.com/Mailing-Lists/Kernel/2006-03/msg08081.html eg: mount("/dev/sda1", "/mnt/test", "ext3", MS_SILENT, ""); The patch also includes some miscellaneous cleanups of the mount.2 man page. Kindly let me know if there are any issues with respect to this patch. Cheers, Maxin B. John Sony India Software Center Bangalore, India Signed-off-by: Maxin B.
