PFS mirror problems

I tried to reproduce it, but doesn't reproduce with below.
A pfs in / gets copied to a pfs in /HAMMER.

# cat -n ./pfsd2.sh
     1  #!/usr/local/bin/bash
     2
     3  HAMMER_DEVICE=/dev/da1
     4
     5  cd
     6  umount /HAMMER
     7  newfs_hammer -L TEST ${HAMMER_DEVICE} > /dev/null
     8  mount_hammer ${HAMMER_DEVICE} /HAMMER
     9  cd /HAMMER
    10
    11  hammer pfs-master a
    12  hammer pfs-downgrade a
    13  hammer pfs-update a `hammer pfs-status /pfs/tmp | grep shared-uuid`
    14
    15  hammer mirror-copy /pfs/tmp a
    16
    17  du -sh /HAMMER/a/
    18  cd
    19  umount /HAMMER
    20  mount_hammer ${HAMMER_DEVICE} /HAMMER
    21  du -sh /HAMMER/a/


Doing something like below may end up not copying a file, but not sure
if this is technically what you're seeing.
This happens in older versions (3.x) too.

# cat -n ./pfsd1.sh
     1  #!/usr/local/bin/bash
     2
     3  HAMMER_DEVICE=/dev/da1
     4
     5  cd
     6  umount /HAMMER
     7  newfs_hammer -L TEST ${HAMMER_DEVICE} > /dev/null
     8  mount_hammer ${HAMMER_DEVICE} /HAMMER
     9  cd /HAMMER
    10
    11  hammer pfs-master a
    12  hammer pfs-slave b `hammer pfs-status a | grep shared-uuid`
    13
    14  dd if=/dev/urandom of=./a/xxx bs=1024 count=1
    15  #sync; sync; sync; sync; sync
    16  hammer mirror-copy a b
    17
    18  cd
    19  umount /HAMMER
    20  mount_hammer ${HAMMER_DEVICE} /HAMMER
    21  ls /HAMMER/*
