provides English error messages.
Are you sure you mounted something to the /mnt target?
To achieve your goal you might try:
mkdir /srv/rootfs
mount --bind / /srv/rootfs
mount ${yourdevice} /mnt
rsync -au /srv/rootfs/ /mnt/
umount /mnt
umount /srv/rootfs
rmdir /srv/rootfs
The trailing slash at the end of rootfs in
the rsync line is mandatory for your use case.
You can repeat this to copy newer data and it will run faster, since
the rsync -u option will prevent copying files which weren't changed.
The -a option archives permissions, ownership etc. as maybe expected
from the cp command.
