On error, mount() returns -1 and errno is set appropriately, just as with pretty much every other function that could possibly fail. =)
However, when mount() fails, the error message is printed not on stdout nor on stderr, but on the console. This is, to say the least, annoying, when you're trying to write an application utilizing mount() in which mount() can and probably will fail.
I suppose I could remove all of the error messages that are printed out by the kernel that has to do with filesystems and compile a version of the kernel for my needs, but I'm thinking other people probably find it a bit annoying too. =)
Anyhow, is there a reason why the kernel prints out filesystem error messages on the console? Actually, that's kind of a stupid question, so let me rephrase it a bit. Is there a reason why iso9660 filesystem error messages need to be printed out on the console? =)
Thanks, Mike Eldridge
