# LANG=C ll /dev/root ls: cannot access '/dev/root': No such file or directory The question is more, in which case is /dev/root created? I don't have this symlink, neither on openSUSE Tumbleweed nor on my SLES installations.
What is /dev/sda3?
My root device.
I was told that it was not possible to show the real root one booted from and that /dev/root was necessary because of some excuse that didn't make technical sense to me and that it was required by the new 'bootd' (Sysd).
Which seems really be a lame excuse, because there must be a way to find out the real root device, else the link /dev/root couldn't be created, too. Between, df is reading the root device from /proc/self/mountinfo.
