This problem was introduced by it ignores a free cluster count (not
"usefree"). If we was not using "usefree" option, FAT doesn't trust the
"free cluster count" anymore.

So, it doesn't update until re-count.  Um.. yes, it's a bit
problem. Ah.. it can fix "we can trust now"-flag or something.

I'll dig it more, later. And for right now, please run "df" command, it
will fix free cluster count.

Thanks.
