Are you sure you don't have a pseudo-filesystem mounted on top of
/dev?
What does "df /dev" report. If it's something like this, you are
using a pseudo-filesystem for /dev:
% df /dev
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
udev 10240 0 10240 0% /dev
In that case, what debugfs is showing is the entries in your /dev
directory before the udev file system is mounted on top of /dev.
