If you follow my transfer process, that won't concern you, but I'm stating it for anyone else reading this post for guidance.

There are a lot of mount points onto the OS partition. If you want to look see it w/o them, you can enter

Undo this be first navigating out of /mnt and then umount.
# cd // # umount /mnt
