Well, since the case "already mounted" is quite outruled, it might be time to explore "mount point busy". https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=package%3Autil-linux+already+mounted+or+mount+point+busy shows that mount(8) emits this message if it gets error code EBUSY. It is not so clear from where this code comes, but mount(2) would be a fine candidate (or placeholder). EBUSY [...] Or, it cannot be mounted on target because target is still busy (it is the working directory of some thread, the mount point of another device, has open files, etc.). So does it work with some other, newly created directory instead of /mnt ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
