Yes, it sure does.
In this case I would second the opinion to boot the system from a live cd
(knoppix or some rescuecd you can think of, to see if the disk usage is
still reported like this. Then, just before you reboot while still running
from the livecd , I would force an fsck on your installed system at boot
time. This might actually fix it.

sudo touch /yourmountedroot/forcefsck

should do it.

Cheers!
