NAME

ntfs_fill_super - mount an ntfs files system  

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

int ntfs_fill_super (struct super_block * sb, void * opt, const int silent);  

ARGUMENTS

sb
super block of ntfs file system to mount
opt
string containing the mount options
silent
silence error output
 

DESCRIPTION

ntfs_fill_super is called by the VFS to mount the device described by sb with the mount otions in data with the NTFS file system.

If silent is true, remain silent even if errors are detected. This is used during bootup, when the kernel tries to mount the root file system with all registered file systems one after the other until one succeeds. This implies that all file systems except the correct one will quite correctly and expectedly return an error, but nobody wants to see error messages when in fact this is what is supposed to happen.  

NOTE

sb->s_flags contains the mount options flags.
