 | ||||
| If you use either bind mounts or volumes, keep the following in mind: | ||||
| 
 | ||||
| - If the container's image contains data at the mount point, this data will be | ||||
|   propagated into the bind mount or volume. This is a good way to pre-populate | ||||
|   data that the Docker host needs (in the case of bind mounts) or that another | ||||
|   container needs (in the case of volumes). | ||||
| - If you mount an **empty volume** into a directory in the container in which files | ||||
|   or directories exist, these files or directories will be propagated (copied)  | ||||
|   into the volume. Similarly, if you start a container and specify a volume which | ||||
|   does not already exist, an empty volume is created for you. | ||||
|   This is a good way to pre-populate data that another container needs. | ||||

| - If you mount a bind mount or volume into a directory in the container in which | ||||
|   files or directories have already been written, these files or directories are | ||||
| - If you mount a **bind mount or non-empty volume** into a directory in the container  | ||||
|   in which some files or directories exist, these files or directories are | ||||
|   obscured by the mount, just as if you saved files into `/mnt` on a Linux host | ||||
|   and then mounted a USB drive into `/mnt`. The contents of `/mnt` would be | ||||
|   obscured by the contents of the USB drive until the USB drive were unmounted. | ||||
|   The obscured files are not removed or altered, but are not accessible while the | ||||
|   bind mount or volume is mounted. | ||||
