To *mount* a bind path inside the container, a ***bind point*** must be defined within the container. The bind point is a target location entity to which the actual directory or file can be bound to.

It is however possible that the system administrator has enabled a Singularity feature called *overlay* in the `/etc/singularity/singularity.conf` file. This will cause the bind points to be created on an as needed basis in an overlay file system so that the underlying container is not modified. But because the *overlay* feature is not always used, it maybe necessary for container standards to exist to ensure portability from host to host.
