Hallo, Linda, Du meintest am 18.05.13: > 1) How is one supposed to get the real root device? rdev > It's not /dev/root -- and on my system /dev/root doesn't even exist. > (though to be fair, it has in the past -- udev musta got sloppy this > time, and did point to the real root device). My system doesn't use "udev", it has no "/dev/root" entry, and it shows since some (few) years "/dev/root" when I invoke "df". No problem. Viele Gruesse!
