I guess it just seems wrong to me that you should be able to overlay a mountpoint to no good effect, but then again I suppose you're also right in that the "layering" paradigm (e.g. last mounted fs wins) is at least preserved in the same way that it would be for, say, a union mount. Ok, upon further reflection, I stand corrected. I guess I'll go close that PR! :-) Jordan
