A bind mount is when you mount one directory at another place. Usually, you
mount a device on a directory, so the filesystem stored on that device is shown
to the system. A bind mount doesn't take a device, but an existing, mounted
directory and simply shows it again at a different place.
Think of it as a directory hardlink. Except it crosses filesystem boundaries
and it's ephemeral.
