That's right. The 2.4 VFS removed the global restriction on the number
of mounts on a single mountpoint. So?
If people expect this to be an error, then the correct thing is for
the VFS restriction to be reinstated. I see no reason why it should be
the responsibility of the filesystem to check for this sort of
thing. A mountpoint is after all the one place where the VFS is
actually *designed* to override the filesystem.
