Indeed, and admins complaining that they can not find resource-pigs hidden under a mount of their own ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

By default, you can't, but it can be overridden. As James says here, you can't access the existing contents when the directory is used as a mount point, but as a point of clarification, the files are still there (so when you unmount they will reappear).
