Hmm... This is not how I remember it. I guess I will have to go back and refresh my memory when I get access to my linux PC again. My memory just "ain't what it used to be"...
I clearly remember mount failures from populated mount points... My wife keeps trying to convince me that I am an OLD MAN.
Other than my mind and body failing me, I still feel like a teenager inside.
