hi Im using stm32f105rb mcu to read files from usb using fatfs libraries and i am able to read upto 17 files simultaneously more than that will shoot a disk error. what will be the root cause and is it possible to read more then 50 files simultaneously pls help...

Check things like stack, buffers and setting in FatFs.

Make sure you have space for each file instance.

Instrument DISKIO layer to see what's happening there.

I could see this churning the FAT Table a lot, but that could be managed.

You need 50 files open ​why? Surely a more rational solution can be found?

thanks for response... im reading file from usb and storing in a buffer and clearing it and again open file from usb. Here not exact 50 files just for a example. i need to read files continuously without disk error

 void usb_data(char * fname)
 {
 
    int *fss;     
   fss = USBH_malloc(sizeof (fs));  
	 
	   memset(file_buffer,0,sizeof(file_buffer));
	res = f_open(&fil, fname,FA_OPEN_EXISTING | FA_READ);
		if (res!=FR_OK)
		{
			HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1,file_err,sizeof(file_err),100);
		
		}
		else{
			HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1,file_open,sizeof(file_open),100);
		}
		HAL_Delay(50);
 
		res=f_read(&fil,file_buffer,f_size(&fil),&test);
		if (res!=FR_OK)
		{
			HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1,read_error,sizeof(read_error),100);
			
		}
		else{
				HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1,"\r\n read   success        ",20,100);
		}
		
		
 
	
		HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1,"\r\n file  closed...",20,100);
	   		for(vall=0;vall<=sizeof(file_buffer)-1;vall++)
		{
			buf=0;
			if(file_buffer[vall]==0x24)
			{
				
					for(va=vall;va<=sizeof(file_buffer)-1;va++)
				{
				myBuff[buf]=file_buffer[va];
					HAL_UART_Transmit(&huart1,&myBuff[buf],1,100);	
				
					if(myBuff[buf]==0x0a)
					{
						break;
					}
					buf++;
			}
		}
	}
			f_close(&fil);
		USBH_free(fss);

Ok, so forget FATFS for a moment and diagnose why the read sector code fails with an error.​
