This indicates that the file "home" is a synbolic reference to the
file (or directory) "../dm-1".

[root@Workstation-1 fedora_localhost-live]# ls -al home ->
../dm-1
ls: cannot access '-': No such file or directory
That command just redirected ls's stdout to the /dm-1 file or
directory. The file you want is ../dm-1 -- not "home -> ../dm-1".
The shell parses that as 'home' and '-' and then "sees"
">" as a
redirect stdout.
