All a `mount' does is cover one directory vnode with another; it seems rather pointless to have such restrictions on it. (For that matter, I would like to see the directory restriction lifted, too.) The only reason why UFS doesn't let you mount the same device more than once is because it doesn't have the necessary internal locking and serialization code to make it work. -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
