Greetings;

What system are you running, David? I am running vanilla 
Debian bullseye, recently upgraded. Been running Debian for 
years and have never gotten those errors. This is what 
happens to me.

  wix@dgwicks:~$ s mount /dev/sdc1 /test1
  wix@dgwicks:~$ s mount /dev/sdc1 /test2
  wix@dgwicks:~$ findmnt /dev/sdc1
  TARGET SOURCE    FSTYPE OPTIONS
  /test1 /dev/sdc1 xfs    rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota
  /test2 /dev/sdc1 xfs    rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota
  wix@dgwicks:~$
  wix@dgwicks:~$ s mount -v /dev/sdc1 /work-1
  mount: /dev/sdc1 mounted on /work-1.
  wix@dgwicks:~$ findmnt /dev/sdc1
  TARGET  SOURCE    FSTYPE OPTIONS
  /test1  /dev/sdc1 xfs    rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota
  /test2  /dev/sdc1 xfs    rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota
  /work-1 /dev/sdc1 xfs    rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota
  wix@dgwicks:~$

Do you have some environment variable set or something in an 
ini or rc file that makes mount behave in a more strict way 
than standard?

No, I don't look at fstab every time I reboot. Just when I 
get things like failed mounts. In which case seeing that 
note will remind me what to look at/for.

Regards,
Dennis
