All accesses to entries in lofs mounted file systems map to their underlying file system. Therefore, if a mount point is made available in multiple locations via lofs and it is in use in any of those locations (as a mount point, a current working directory, etc.), an attempt to mount a file system at that mount point will fail unless the overlay flag has been specified.
