Also, if you forgot to unmount anything while chrooted, that would do it too.

I have not mounted anything other than the following devices (during populating /dev):

mount -nvt tmpfs none /dev
mount -vt devpts -o gid=4,mode=620 none /dev/pts
mount -vt tmpfs none /dev/shm

I guess I do not need to unmount these devices, right?

If you issued those commands _inside_ the chroot env, then
yes you do need to umount them before leaving it (or chroot back
in to recover).

You can always check those with cat /proc/mounts. That will show
_all_ the mounts, both on the host and inside the chroot, whereas
they use seperate /etc/mtab which each show only an incomplete
picture.  Two points to note:
1° the output of mount comes from /etc/mtab
2° for filesystems mounted from within the chroot env, /proc/mounts
will show a different mount point depending on whether you are in
the chroot or not.
