You would indeed think, but somehow it was not. I just plugged the drive into a windows machine and the drive just appeared as usual, with any files intact. I also ran a filesystem check on this volume from within windows and it's clean ('Disk check complete'). I am not sure why newfs indicates 328 sectors of 4096 bytes (comes to about 1.28 mb) when df -h says 128kb on the mounted file system (which is a little more consistent with the 48 sectors * 4096 bytes = 192 kb I thought i had allocated)
I had to add the '-b 4096' to even get newfs to make such a puny filesystem. I'm sure it's fairly uncommon that anyone would make a 192 kb filesystem on a drive with 4096 byte sectors..
