in the past, long before the new mystery of hal/dbus/PolicyKit descended upon us
-- if you had a partition fail to mount and wrote data to the mount point when
no partition was mounted, then when the mount problem was fixed, the next time
you actually had a successful mount, the mounted partition would simple "cover
up" the underlying data in the mount point/directory and things would simply
carry on as normal until you unmounted the partition and did an ls on the mount
point only to discover there were still files on the 'unmounted' partition...
Now, who knows with the new wizardry.

The same, as the wizardry still has to rely on the kernel and such to do the actual mounting.
