Yes, this is more likely to happen to the root file system.
Say you have a bunch of files in /boot, but for some reason you have a
/boot partition that wasn't mounted when those files were created ....
then you mount the /normal/ boot partition over it and now the other
files are now hidden from view, but still taking up space.
