The version of FatFs is rather old, please consider upgrading this to reflect the latest release from Chan so that errors/issues that have been addressed don't need to be revisited or make it into delivered products.

Had an issue today with an internal failure message (FR_INT_ERR) for a near full 200 GB MicroSD volume that was resolved by using 0.13b

Version 0.12c is from March 2017 (more than 18 months)

Hi Clive,

Which problems? I think you're probably OT here, disk errors that propagate up to the top level usually occur because the DISKIO code isn't doing it's job properly, and everyone runs around like headless chickens pointing at code in FATFS mount/partition code.

Better yet:

Update in a timely fashion
Don't make unnecessary changes to third party code that do nothing but make it harder to migrate future versions
Make cube available via git repo
