mount question

[ron.peterson at yellowbank.com (Ron Peterson)]

I just set up a new machine with /var and /var/log on separate partitions.
Each partition is on a different disk.  My fstab mounted /var/log before
/var (because it did sda before sdb).  Therefore my /var/log mount was
blown away, and all my log files are on sdb.

Switching my fstab entries around fixes the mount problem.  But now how do
I get the old log files?  I know I could just unmount /var/log, copy them,
and remount.  But I'm wondering if there's a way to see what's on the disk
when it's covered up by a mount.

??
