That's not unexpected. /mnt/ is intended for /temporary/ or /transient/ mounting, while /etc/fstab is OTOH intended for routine. The explosion could have occurred by inserting a USB stick while rsync was running and you were engaging in root activities. As regular user, most DEs now use /run/media/<user> instead of /tmp/. Best anyway to find someplace besides your /mnt/ tree for that filesystem, maybe /home/coyotebak/ or /backupdisk/. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
