Accessing Data Under a Mount Point


I'm using ext3 and I have my / partition on sda3. This is a full install, it has /bin /home etc etc on it, the only thing I have is sda1 is /boot and sda2 is swap.

I've configured my system to mount sda4 as /home/user as the system boots up, which puts all of my data on sda4.

My question is this. How do I access any data left in (sda3) /home/user? (Because trying that won't work). Is there some way to use a direct path? Like /device/sda3/home/user?

Unmount sda4 first, then access the data on sda3. If you want to move it to sda4, mount sda4 on a different, temporary, mount point.
