Those are the mount points, and since they don't exist as mount points
but as folders in your filesystem, there is no location for them to
display.
Your / should read something like /dev/sda1 or however you have it set up.

This link explains the /var folder and it's purposes, and down the

exist. The purpose of /var/lock:
