Subject: [UPDATED PATCH] vfs: MS_VERBOSE should be MS_SILENT
Date: Thu, 23 Mar 2006 11:42:27 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060323164227.GH4983@thunk.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <E1FMQqv-0000qx-Cw@think.thunk.org>
[I sent out the wrong version of the patch which didn't have my final
updates to the descriptive text, sorry.]
The meaning of MS_VERBOSE is backwards; if the bit is set, it really
means, "don't be verbose". This is confusing and counter-intuitive.
In addition, there is also no way to set the MS_VERBOSE flag in the
mount(8) program in util-linux, but interesting, it does define
options which would do the right thing if MS_SILENT were defined,
which unfortunately we do not:
#ifdef MS_SILENT
{ "quiet", 0, 0, MS_SILENT }, /* be quiet */
{ "loud", 0, 1, MS_SILENT }, /* print out messages. */
#endif
So the obvious fix is to deprecate the use of MS_VERBOSE and replace
it with MS_SILENT.
