The first and most important question is whether "/dev" is a real
filesystem, or if it is a virtual (e.g. "tmpfs" type) filesystem
on your machine?

It would be useful to show "ls -li" information for some of the
entries that appear via debugfs (e.g. "fd", "pts", and "shm" above),
and also some of the entries that do not appear in debugfs.
