This extract from the Linux man page explains it:

 The bind mounts.
        Since Linux 2.4.0 it is possible to  remount  part  of  the  file
        hierarchy somewhere else. The call is
               mount --bind olddir newdir
        or shortoption
               mount -B olddir newdir
        or fstab entry is:
               /olddir /newdir none bind

        After  this  call  the same contents is accessible in two places.

Cheers ... Duncan.
