Package: mount, umount, udev, kernel-2.6.32-5-686

Distribution: Debian 6.0.2.1-i386-DVD, Updated to Debian 6.0.3-i386-DVD, Using 
Debian 6.0.3-i386-Update-DVD-Volumes 1 and 2

Hardware: MSI MS-7108 Motherboard with Intel Pentium 4, LGA 775, 3.0 GHz, Dual 
Processor CPU,
Intel 848P, ICH5, 2 GB of 400 MHz DDR SDRAM, Floppy drive, 8 USB 2.0 ports (USB 
1.1 compatible)

Files: <sys/mount.h>

Follow-up II:  I have written a short "C" program to test the system function 
"mount" (Manual section 2) to
compare its behavior with  the behavior of  the system command "mount" (Manual 
section 8).  The system
function "mount" (Manual section 2) also fails to mount /dev/fd0 ( a correctly 
functioning floppy drive with
a correctly formatted floppy in it) in exactly the same manner as that of the 
system command "mount" 
(Manual section 8), as I have shown in my message containing the bug #648570.

During the compilation of this code, I have also found out that the "mount" 
flags MS_RELATIME and 
MS_STRICTATIME are not defined in the header file <sys/mount.h> despite the 
statements in the
manual page for the system function "mount" (Manual section 2).  It seems that 
an old version of the
<sys/mount.h> (circa 2004, well before kernel 2.6.32) has been included in the 
Debian 6.0.3 distribution.
