Directory entries point to inodes, and inodes point (directly
or indirectly) to disk blocks.  If the inode isn't overwritten
you only need to point a file name to it.  One thing that fsck
traditionally does is find allocated inodes without a directory
reference and add them to the lost+found directory.
