That's right.

The commits we're discussing here are (I believe):

http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=75180df2ed...
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=275a5d24bf...

The later being the one returning EBUSY for the option mismatch and the 
former the addition of the "nosharecache" option.
