How do you tell if it's the same filesystem? Frankly, I'd rather get rid of mounting several things at one mountpoint, different or not - that would make life much easier, but it means that we need to implement mount-traps to make autofs folks happy. It _may_ be doable in 2.4, but I susupect that it will end up as 2.5 project.
