Subject:   (BUG?) Mounting "on top" of another mount

3.2-RELEASE here.  I had:

   > df | grep 32_share
   /dev/wd1s3e   2031953  1353017   516380    72%    /32_share

Then I mistakenly did a:

   > mount /dev/wd0s3e /32_share
                  ^

And it didn't generate an error (!?).  I then had:

   > df | grep 32_share
   /dev/wd1s3e   2031953  1353017   516380    72%    /32_share
   /dev/wd0s3e   2032623  1169007   701007    63%    /32_share

Odd things started happening (vi failed, missing directories, etc.), so I
rebooted.  All is normal now, and nothing lost AFAIK, but that sure was
strange.

Is this a bug or a feature?  

Randall


E.g.
   > mount /dev/wd1s1  /abc
   > mount /dev/wd1s2  /abc
