Good, but you fail due to only matching 3 lines
mounts=( $(</proc/mounts) )
i=0
while [[ -n ${mounts[i]} ]] ; do
[[ "${mounts[${m}]}" == "/dev/root" ]] \
&& echo "Yay, I matched ^/dev/root "
((i+=6))
done
Should work (typed into mail, not actually tested). However, this does rely on
a fixed number of 6 words per line, otherwise it breaks ;)
But as you say, =~ would be faster as bash is notorious for slow loops
