Why? POSIX only specifies what happens when you use options specified by POSIX. Since status=noinfo is an extension, the mere use of it implies that you are intentionally asking for extended behavior not covered by POSIX, at which point we can silence whatever we want without violating POSIX. A strictly conforming app will never uses status=noinfo, and will never know the difference. -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well! Eric Blake [email protected]
