Hello Lloyd, I've seen files fail on FAT32 with only 10-12K files in the folder. The problem is there's a fixed number of directory entries and when you use long filenames, more then one entry is used to store the names. So, basically you have no way to determine when the next "file open" will fail. FAT32 is the devil. You should transition to something better.
