What is this all about?

If I mount an ext3 filesystem like this:

mount /dev/hdb1 /backup

It mounts, but  "ls /backup"  produces : Literally !

If I mount like like this:

mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb1 /backup

"ls /backup" shows the actual files correctly.

Since there isn't an entry in fstab for /backup, I am not sure why "mount" actually mounts the drive.

Is this normal?
