I operated my nand flash(128Mb,2k bytes * 64 pages = 128Kb/block) as follows:

Comparing to the avaialbe space after copying a file to the flash, the number of used
space is the same, but now there are no files in the flash!
If I repeated cp, rm, umount, mount again and again, my available space becomes lower.
why no block could became dirty and be erased???
When does these deleted block become avaialable again??
