when parent directory is mounted on to new volume, i cannot see the sub directory which was existing earlier

  • 772

After mounting /yesh onto a new volume, I cannot see the sub directory /yesh/data001 which was existing before mounting.

If the sub directory is existing where can I find it?

command-line permissions mount bashrc bash-history

    You can use mount --bind for seeing old mount you have on same mount point.

    Create any directory in your filesystem, ex: /mnt/data001, then

    command: mount --bind /yesh/data001 /mnt/data001

    This is tricky case, you cannot see old mount and you cant umount your old mount. Generally restart is kind of solution but with out restart if you want to access /yesh/data001 I believe you can achieve via above command.
