Check your disk and partition labels by: sudo lsblk -o name,mountpoint,label,size,uuid
Maybe the labels are not unique or are missing. In general - file systems are mounted in the same order as per fstab. If you have duplicate/missing labels on disk partitions - which could happen during your dd/rsync install method - then things might get "entertaining".
