if you want to "problematically" identify the root volume, you might
start with a random number generator :-)
on the other hand, if you want to "programatically" (who didn't have
coffee this morning? :-) identify root, how about starting with:
mount | grep ' / '
or maybe:
mount | grep '[ \t]/[ \t]' ;in case your version of mount inserts tabs
rather than spaces as separators
then maybe pipe through sed to eliminate unwanted extraneous text
