I think the OP is looking for a needle in a haystack. /proc and /sys
are full of perfectly correct loops of symlinks, and /dev/fd is a link
straight back into /proc. So I'd start searching at specific /dev/foo
where foo avoids fd.
I'd also check /dev/disk carefully for any partitions with duplicate
LABELs, UUIDs and suchlike. Have any changes been made in
/{etc,lib}/udev/rules.d/* ?
Cheers,
David.
