From the man page for 'debugfs':
SPECIFYING FILES
Many debugfs commands take a filespec as an argument to
specify an inode (as opposed to a pathname) in the
filesystem which is currently opened by debugfs. The
filespec argument may be specified in two forms. The
first form is an inode number surrounded by angle brack
ets, e.g., <2>. The second form is a pathname; if the
pathname is prefixed by a forward slash ('/'), then it is
interpreted relative to the root of the filesystem which
is currently opened by debugfs. If not, the pathname is
interpreted relative to the current working directory as
maintained by debugfs. This may be modified by using the
debugfs command cd.
