# Bind Mount Safety

> How to verify that bind mounts are overlaying, not deleting, original content.

## Safe verification pattern

Use an isolated mount namespace, unmount the bind target there, and inspect the underlying directory.

```bash theme={null}
sudo unshare -m bash -lc '
  mount --make-rprivate /
  umount /home/moodmnky/.openclaw/workspace/obsidian-mnky
  umount /home/moodmnky/.openclaw/workspace/workspaces
  ls -la /home/moodmnky/.openclaw/workspace/obsidian-mnky
  ls -la /home/moodmnky/.openclaw/workspace/workspaces
'
```

## Rule

Never assume a bind mount deleted data until you inspect the underlying directory.
