The file /proc/self/mountinfo contains the dev_t, it's generally safer to use.

Also be careful with stat(), it is a 'name' not a 'device'. It's not likely
to cause problems, but it's possible in theory. The name can contain anything,
it is copied verbatim from the mount() system call. It is recommended to use
lstat() here to avoid triggering the automounter in case you run over a
path name here.
