I used the DF1:  mountlist entry provided in 1.3.  It had several
interesting side effects.  For one, if you took out a disk out of the
external drive, optionally replacing another disk, only df1:  would know
about it, df2 would still think it was there.  You can verify this with
the info command.  If you then tried to reference df2:  you would get a
requestor.  Repeating this a number of times would sometimes cause a
system crash.  I stopped mounting df1:  for this reason.  It appears to
me that having two different devices go to the same physical unit can
cause problems.  Can someone else try this and verify this?
