You must have installed rsyslog at at some point (as an app). Does it show up in the installed apps section?
No, It doesn't.
I have no installed apps.
How exactly did you mount on /mnt? Did you enter # mount --bind / /mnt
Yes, I did.
If that is what you did, then /mnt/data should be an empty folder. So you can delete everything in the folder, but don't delete /mnt/data itself.
Shall I just delete it?

Not now perhaps. But there clearly was stuff installed (either as an app or via ssh) before. Rsyslog didn't get there on its own. There are also signs of mysql and php5. Maybe some other stuff too.
Do you recall what was on there in the past?

As I tried to say before: Don't delete /mnt/data. It is a mount point, so it needs to exist in the system. Do delete /mnt/data/rsyslog

Here's the other large folder that doesn't normally exist on a ReadyNAS. Not sure if this was part of php5 (which appears to have installed at some point), or something else.
You could just delete the /mnt/var/lib/mysql folder. You could also copy it to a share on the data volume (/data/... - not /mnt/data) first.
Deleting both of these folders should bring the free space in OS partition up to where it should be.
