However, it is still possible to mount the same NFS filesystem to the same mountpoitn several times: mme@feivel:/.autofs/nfs/home/mme$ sudo mount zwerg:/exports/usr.local /mnt Password: mme@feivel:/.autofs/nfs/home/mme$ sudo mount zwerg:/exports/usr.local /mnt mme@feivel:/.autofs/nfs/home/mme$ df|grep mnt 8570480 5685768 2449352 70% /mnt 8570480 5685768 2449352 70% /mnt I'm not sure if this really is a bug as technically it does not create a problem, but I know a lot of users who are pretty confused.
