Well, that and the "ext3: No journal on filesystem on %s" message
which Rob also complained about...

I was just looking at this, and it seemed counterintuitive that
setting the MS_VERBOSE flag actually means "don't be verbose"; but
indeed, this is the way things are, and it's consistently defined as
such, starting with fs/super.c and propgated down into all of the
various filesystem fs/*/super.c which copied that bit of code.

Interestingly, mount doesn't have a way of setting the MS_VERBOSE
flag, but it *does* have the following:

#ifdef MS_SILENT
  { "quiet",	0, 0, MS_SILENT    },	/* be quiet  */
  { "loud",	0, 1, MS_SILENT    },	/* print out messages. */
#endif

.... and fs.h doesn't define MS_SILENT, although it does define the
MS_VERBOSE flag which has the exact opposite meaning.

So....   any objections to the following?
