Hi Tim,

The getfsstat() count problem as you reported can be seen from the different
counts shown by mount(8) and lsvfs(1), and the main reason is due to the
chroot from the initrd temporary root into the real root, as Matt replied to
your email [1].

For example, on my box (encrypted root and chrooted from initrd):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# mount
/dev/mapper/root at DATA on / (hammer2, local)
/dev on /dev (null, local)
/dev/vbd0s1a on /boot (ufs, local)
/build/usr.obj on /usr/obj (null)
/build/var.crash on /var/crash (null)
/build/var.cache on /var/cache (null)
/build/var.spool on /var/spool (null)
/build/var.log on /var/log (null)
/build/var.tmp on /var/tmp (null)
procfs on /proc (procfs, local)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
# lsvfs
Filesystem                              Num  Refs  Flags
-------------------------------- ---------- -----  ---------------
nfs                              0x00000001     0  network
msdos                            0x00000002     0  
cd9660                           0x00000003     0  read-only
devfs                            0x00000004     2  synthetic
ufs                              0x00000005     2  
procfs                           0x00000006     1  synthetic
hammer                           0x00000007     0  
tmpfs                            0x00000008     1  
mfs                              0x00000009     0  
null                             0x0000000a     7  loopback
hammer2                          0x0000000b     1
-------------------------------------------------------------------

So lsvfs(1) gives: 1 more tmpfs, 1 more ufs, and 2 more devfs.  I observed
this mismatch sometime before, and discussed with Sascha Wildner.  But we can
only explain 3 of the 4 more filesystems:

* 1 tmpfs: mount of the initrd image (it's a memory disk)
* 1 ufs: the temporary root (UFS) mounted from the initrd image (Sascha
  already updated the lsvfs.1 man page about this)
* 1 devfs: the actually devfs is mounted at /dev of the temporary root, which
  is then null-mounted to /new_root/dev, as you can see from mount(8): 
  "/dev on /dev (null, local)".

But there still remains 1 mysterious devfs... anyone have more ideas?
