After mounting /yesh
onto a new volume, I cannot see the sub directory /yesh/data001
which was existing before mounting.
If the sub directory is existing where can I find it?
command-line permissions mount bashrc bash-history

Can you elaborate a bit more? Are you saying that the directory/yesh/data001
was present before mounting a new volume onto/yesh
?

That's how it is supposed to work. Always mount on an empty directory.

You can use mount --bind
for seeing old mount you have on same mount point.
Create any directory in your filesystem, ex: /mnt/data001, then
command: mount --bind /yesh/data001 /mnt/data001
This is tricky case, you cannot see old mount and you cant umount
your old mount. Generally restart
is kind of solution but with out restart if you want to access /yesh/data001
I believe you can achieve via above command.
