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,
