[PATCH] vfs: MS_VERBOSE should be MS_SILENT
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.
