I have not been able to use that last line as a target for rsync
That's not unexpected. /mnt/ is intended for /temporary/ or /transient/
mounting,
while /etc/fstab is OTOH intended for routine.
How should the mount point have an influence on transfer rates?
AFAIK, nothing I wrote would be expected to have any relationship to transfer
rates. My point was entirely about suitability of /mnt/ for fstab entries.
And my point is that for a one time copy, its was handy. I didn't have
to mkdir a mount point for it.
This whole thing has just one objective, making a copy of the raid10
/home onto a single drive that I could us to edit the raid out of fstab,
substituting the single drive copy. This raid has 2 of its 4 drives
complaining to smartctl. Get my data off it, by whatever means works.
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/.
You think an automounter mounted some stuff beneath /mnt/?
I think they don't do that for the last twenty years, at least
(before /run/media/<user> it has been /media/<user> for quite
a while already...
I don't have a working knowledge of all the deviations from FHS or other
standards
that Gene employs, and neither am I familiar with behaviors of DEs I do not use.
When one has /mnt/ in fstab, where would one put a transient manual mount?
Another
would need to be created, lest done to /mnt/ on coyote, /mnt/homesde1/'s
filesystem would disappear, no trivial danger in the context of deteriorated
short
term memory.
