How to cleanup dangling (unable to be retrieved) files entirely?

[dormando]

I don't know offhand if fsck will actually look for fid files which 
don't have any rows in the 'file' table. Well, I'm pretty confident it 
doesn't. If you end up with three rows in file_on that's what it'll look 
for. It won't do a desperate search across all of the devices unless 
it's lost a file's data entirely.
