Nope.

Right. What _seems_ to happen is mount sees the LABEL= lines, translates it
into a device, doesn't check if it's already mounted and attempts to do so.
Under 2.2.15 I get:
# mount -a
mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /boot busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda1 is already mounted on /boot
mount: /dev/sda3 already mounted or /usr busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/sda3 is already mounted on /usr
...
Under 2.3.99-pre9 I get:
opus:/home/trini# mount -a
opus:/home/trini# df
