Although one should note that you can loose valid names off the top of your directory tree with chroot, and from the leaves by mounting another filing system over a non-empty directory. (But of course if you're wondering why your filing system is fuller than it should be given the size of all the files, it's more likely to be open but unlinked files rather than the above 2 causes).
