strange behavior of mount



when mounting my SATA hard drive by usb it is often disconnecting without reason
( i.e. i didn't move my laptop and I didn't touch usb cables ).
The disconnections by itself are probably bug in kernel or problem
with my hardware,
and while quite irritating it is not causing too much problems, but
when mounting again
mount _doesn't_ FAIL even though df is still telling me that there are
mounted volumes in
given location:

darkestkhan@khanat /dev $ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_khanat-lv_root
                      51606140  20191424  28793276  42% /
tmpfs                  1288224         0   1288224   0% /lib/init/rw

/dev/sda2               479842     20004    434238   5% /boot
/dev/sdb4            235603192 202341520  21293652  91% /storage
/dev/sdc4            235603192 202341520  21293652  91% /storage
/dev/sdd4            235603192 202341520  21293652  91% /storage
/dev/sde4            235603192 202341520  21293652  91% /storage
/dev/sdf4            235603192 202341520  21293652  91% /storage

It was just by chance that I even caught it. When I'm doing mount of (
now sdg4 ) in to storage
( sudo mount /dev/sdg4 /storage ) then mount is doing this, though it
should fail ( especially since
 have programs running in /storage ). Volumes: sdb4, sdc4, sdd4, sde4,
sdf4 are exactly the same thing.
In order to completely umount /storage i have to do umont quite a few times...

Anyone else experienced something like this ? or is it just some
strange issue caused by my hardware ?

kernel version is 2.6.37 for AMD64 and mount version is 2.17.2.9
( up to date debian sid/experimental )
