/mnt/ is intended for one-time copies, just the ticket for that particular
exercise. But, fstab entries for one-time mounting is not normal, and neither are
subdirectories in /mnt/ unless a filesystem is temporarily mounted there. It's
allowed, but not particularly a product of wisdom, particularly if you forget to
undo it before rebooting without the configured filesystem available, or an
unexpected reboot occurs first. Remember your short-term memory quality?
