If you ran that "ln" from / on the running system, that's a problem.

If it helps, remember that the 1st pathname you provide to "ln -s"
doesn't have to exist or be otherwise sensible given the current tree of
filesystems. For example, from "/", the following command will complete
with status 0 when issued from the bash prompt as long as that I can
write to /home at the time:
ln -s '/dev/zero/Frobozz Magick Gunk Factory' /home/nonsense
