The System.IO.Filesystem.dll doesn't really contain any code, it just contains links to the actual types. I don't really know why they did that, I presume for some compatibility reasons. The actual implementation of all the classes in there are in the runtime kernel assembly (System.Private.Corelib.dll).

Your version of IlSpy doesn't seem to handle this scenario correctly. Maybe there's a newer version. DotPeek shows this correctly:

System.IO.FileSystem with forwarded types
