Clearly an easy work around in that case then but personally I would expect a mount to a directory already in use by another mount point to fail. Taking even further a mount to a directory that is not actually empty should fail. IIRC this is how solaris behaves but its been a while. Checking for an empty target directory certainly makes sence to me is there some case where it would be desirable to allow this to happen? If so maybe a force flag should created without which a mount to a none empty dir would fail. Either way allowing multiple mounts to the same location is bound to cause all manor of confusion and should be prevented.
