Hopefully you realise that should take quite a while to run, and you
correctly mounted etc for your check...

Looking at those files makes me think of a possible installation error:
that one or more partitions on the old install were used and mounted

Is there a timestamp check that could be performed (install time/date
for the file, rather than the datetime that ls -l shows?
