why /dev/ptmx is in the snapshots?

I have a btrfs root partition and I use snapper to automatically take snapshots (ubuntu 18.04 LTS). 

The `/dev/ptmx` file change between each snapshots despite `/dev` is mounted as a devtmpfs file system.

I have tried creating a file in `/dev`, and as expected it is not snapshotted.

My first intuition was that one service was started before `/dev` is mounted as a devtmpfs and still using it, but `sudo fuser /dev/ptmx` show no use of that file.


Can someone explain this behavior?

Thank you in advance and best regards






Marc
