Yesterday someone tried to rename a directory. The result was that the
content of the directory got copied to the new place 

mv a b

caused the content of a to be copied to the new b tree. When I looked to
see what was going on I noticed that a was a local mount point and that
both a and b were in the root partition. So on the one hand, a was not
being moved *to* a new partition, but OTOH, a is a mount point. 

Can someone please explain what was going on here?

TIA
