rsync command not working – Virtualbox VM

I created a CentOS 7 Minimal VM in Oracle VirtualBox.

Added an additional virtual disk and partitioned with software raid. Mounted this software device to my /mnt partition.

After that I tried an rsync command to copy over data from my existing / partition in to /mnt mounted partition. But nothing happens. No files copied over and no error displayed, no incremental files listed.

I am not sure what's wrong with the existing configuration.

In the above rsync command you can see nothing happens. Also there is no data in the /mnt folder after rsync.

[root@localhost ~]# cd /mnt/
[root@localhost mnt]# ls

[root@localhost mnt]# cd /
[root@localhost /]# ls
