[gobolinux-devel] UnionSandbox and /dev/root

[Lucas C. Villa Real]

Hi guys,

I noticed that we always create /dev/root when running UnionSandbox:

Log_Verbose "Preparing the sandbox..."
...
if [ ! -h ${goboDevices}/root ]
then ln -s / ${goboDevices}/root
fi
...

Does anybody know why that was introduced in first place? That link
seems to confuse some tools such as "sudo", but I wonder if the old
kernel-based unionfs implementation relied on /dev/root for some
reason.

Thanks,
Lucas
