Not originally; but I just tried it, and doing "sync" and waiting 2 hours produces.... no difference.

# sync

# echo wait 2 hours

wait 2 hours

# df -h /a 
Filesystem         Size       Used      Avail %Cap Mounted on
/dev/sd2a          1.4M       529K       895K  37% /a

Some of the 529K is bad sectors  (like 1,024 bytes); but why is 529K  "used" when there are no files there:

# pwd 

/a
arm64# ls -la  
total 1
drwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  7168 Jan  1  1980 ./
drwxr-xr-x  32 root  wheel  1024 Dec 29 02:38 ../

fascinatingly, now, when I try to "umount" the filesystem:

# umount /a  
umount: /a: Device busy

This behavior seems incorrect.

Did you type sync and wait?
