It should say that > it is already mounted. Devuan Jessie, mount 2.26.2-6+devuan1, only says that /run is not in /etc/fstab unless I use: mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /run The "filesystem mounted or mountpoint busy" stuff should be from getting errno == EBUSY; this won't happen if you use a virtual filesystem that supports multiple instances. *As far as I know*, the only way mount with a single argument is able to determine the correct filesystem or mountpoint without reading /etc/fstab is if you add the "remount" option.
