Synopsis: linprocfs can be mounted on top of itself many times State-Changed-From-To: open->analyzed State-Changed-By: ceri State-Changed-When: Wed Dec 1 12:53:41 GMT 2004 State-Changed-Why: This is because /compat is a symlink to /usr/compat; mount(8) does a check to see whether the filesystem is mounted before mounting the filesystem, and it is being fooled by the symlink - I suspect that you have the mount point specified as /compat/linux/proc in your fstab - if you change that to /usr/compat/linux/proc then the reported behaviour is corrected. I doubt that it's worth changing mount(8) to correct this, but will leave this as "analyzed" in case anybody thinks it is. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=74387
