2.4.9: multiply mounting filesystem

Hi,

yesterday I mounted a filesystem /dev/sda9 (resierfs) twice (first time
as /, second time as /mnt) by mistake. Neither kernel nor mount program
complained. I'm very much afraid this could corrupt the filesystem. Or
is Linux really smart enough to handle the case?

Regards,
Ulrich
