I'm aware of that, Rose; the problem, however, is that this doesn't consistently happen when the flash disk is nearly full. It could happen with several megabytes to spare, depending into which areas of the disk files get copied. So, for example, I have had it happen whilst downloading Emails, or saving a Keyword document. It just isn't reliable to have this happening.
