Bind mounts reflect the directory structure from the source and does not allow modifications on the disk. Its suppose to be part of the live filesystem. But then my question is what is the difference between a normal mount?
Does this question about bind mounts deserve its own personal thread?
Your example just shows the type as none and an extra attribute as bind in the mount. What does this imply?

msdos
MSDOSFS(5) BSD File Formats Manual MSDOSFS(5)NAME
msdosfs -- MS-DOS file system
SYNOPSIS
options MSDOSFS
DESCRIPTION
The msdosfs driver will permit the FreeBSD kernel to read and write MS-DOS based file systems.
The most common usage follows:
mount -t msdosfs /dev/ada0sN /mnt
where N is the partition number and /mnt is a mount point. Some users tend to create a /dos directory for msdosfs mount points. This helps
to keep better track of the file system, and make it more easily accessible.
It is possible to define an entry in /etc/fstab that looks similar to:
/dev/ada0sN /dos msdosfs rw 0 0
This will mount an MS-DOS based partition at the /dos mount point during system boot. Using /mnt as a permanent mount point is not advised
as its intention has always been to be a temporary mount point for floppy and ZIP disks. See hier(7) for more information on FreeBSD direc-
tory layout.
