What happens to a folder if I mount another filesystem on it?


The scenario is as follows:


After some time I reconfigured fstab because I decided that it would be better to mount another harddisk/filesystem on /var. The other day I (mistakable) started without this harddisk being present and I (accidentally) saw that the content of /var were the old files from the time before I switched to using this harddisk.


My question is now: Where are these (old) files while the new harddisk is mounted on /var??


Do they live in a miscelanous nirvana?
