Not a good idea: the `-mount` will then preventing it from entering
`/dev` since `/dev` is usually another mount point (using a sort of

Since the problem is expected to be in /dev, I'd do:

    find /dev -mount -follow -printf ""

Of course, I don't actually know if that'll catch the source of
your problem.
