A working example in bash-3.2 :) |

|

[[ $(</proc/mounts) =~ $'\n'/dev/root\ ]] \ |
| 10 |
&& echo "Yay, I matched ^/dev/root " |

I challenge you to get an exact match of /dev/root being on the first line |

using the == operator and/or quoting. |
| 14 |
Remember, /dev/root/foo and /dev/foo /dev/root must not match either. |

If you can you get credit in the ChangeLog :) |

Yes, you could also write |
| 19 |
grep -E "^/dev/root " /proc/mounts, but using bash like this is faster [1] |
