It's not an actual device, it's just a weird string. We probably should filter it out entirely, and never ever generate a unit dependency for it. Please check if this fixes things for you: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/systemd/systemd/commit/?id=7ba2711d3fd283c389db2a1e7b9598ba9f0dac0c That said, I figure you should backport 628c89cc68ab96fce2de7ebba5933725d147aecc and friends to your tree, which should also make this problem go away for you. > I am planning to locally patch mount_add_device_links to skip if what > is "/dev/root", to avoid a call to unit_add_node_link...
