Comically, I tried
and watched all of the unmounted filesystems completely disappear
That is pretty funny
/dev/ is folder where device files are kept -- the files UNIX/Linux need to access, among other things, disks. You opened your new partition overtop of that, blocking them all. (Kind of like setting a blank sheet of paper atop a written one; the stuff beneath still exists, but you don't see it.) Things already open won't be affected, but you won't be able to open anything else. This has wider effects than disks. You probably lost the ability to create new terminals too, as well as sound, mice, even the bit-bucket, anything which is a character or block device.
You might have been able to recover from that with umount /dev but a reboot is good too.

mount.nfs
MOUNT.NFS(8) System Manager's Manual MOUNT.NFS(8)NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System
SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options]
DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality.
mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone
command with limited functionality.
mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system, while mount.nfs is used to mount NFS file systems versions 3 or 2. remotetarget is a
server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted.
OPTIONS -r Mount file system readonly.
-v Be verbose.
-V Print version.
-w Mount file system read-write.
-f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call.
-n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making
an entry.
-s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail.
-h Print help message.
nfsoptions
Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages.
NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages.
FILES
