The crunched executable is a collection of the programs and libraries and is hardlinked for each individual executable so crunched. The sizes will completely throw you off (esp. if you use du) but df will have the correct values. All that's in there that's useful is sysinstall, if you aren't going to be using it for installing packages, etc. then you can dump it. You can always rebuild it later. If root is damaged then you have bigger problems.
