That's the live filesystem?

The file system sources are in:

/sys/msdosfs		(should be /sys/fs/msdosfs)
/sys/nfs		(should be /sys/fs/nfs)
/sys/ufs/ufs		(should be /sys/fs/ufs)		<-- ffs async
/sys/ufs/ffs		(should be /sys/fs/ffs)		<-- ffs async
/sys/ufs/lfs		(should be /sys/fs/lfs)
/sys/miscfs/deadfs	(should be /sys/fs/deadfs)
/sys/miscfs/devfs	(should be /sys/fs/devfs)
/sys/miscfs/fdesc	(should be /sys/fs/fdesc)
/sys/miscfs/fifofs	(should be /sys/fs/fifofs)
/sys/miscfs/kernfs	(should be /sys/fs/kernfs)
/sys/miscfs/nullfs	(should be /sys/fs/nullfs)
/sys/miscfs/portal	(should be /sys/fs/portal)
/sys/miscfs/procfs	(should be /sys/fs/procfs)
