I was expecting it to be an error, but I'm not upset that it's not. Just kind of weird to see five mounts with the exact same information in /etc/mtab.
I can see why it would be useful to have multiple things mounted on the same mountpoint, but is there any reason to allow the _same_ filesystem to be mounted multiple times at the same mountpoint?
