Question:
Why does SetSize() not use disk space on LFFS?

Answer:
If you used SetSize() to use file space, this does not actually reserve any Flash space on LFFS. Therefore it is possible for the total reported size of the files to be larger than the total available space on the drive.

See the explanation of SetSize() under LFFS .
