df -h shows ~10 times bigger size when umounting pendrive

[Arkadiusz Miskiewicz]

I have 1GiB pendrive:

[ 1494.641661] scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access              GOODDRIVE        1100

[ 1494.658212] usb-storage: device scan complete

pendrive was mounted on /media/floppy

[arekm@t400 ~]$ df -h
System plikïw         rozm. uïyte dost. %uï. zamont. na
/dev/sda3             9,6G  4,2G  5,5G  44% /          
/dev/mapper/home      127G   52G   75G  42% /home      
tmpfs                 1,0G   28K  1,0G   1% /tmp       
none                  2,0G   12K  2,0G   1% /dev/shm   
/dev/sdb1             956M  657M  299M  69% /media/floppy

then I copied 650MB file and run umount /media/floppy

While umount was running and data were synced on the
pendrive df -h showed:

[arekm@t400 ~]$ df -h
System plikïw         rozm. uïyte dost. %uï. zamont. na
/dev/sda3             9,6G  4,2G  5,5G  44% /
/dev/mapper/home      127G   52G   75G  42% /home
tmpfs                 1,0G   28K  1,0G   1% /tmp
none                  2,0G   12K  2,0G   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sdb1             9,6G  4,2G  5,5G  44% /media/floppy


So it started to show 9.6G size when in process of umount.

Doesn't sound "normal" and correct.
