Figure it out from FAT table. No other working way has been posted so far.

A really dumb but working way to test it without going down to fat table level is by writing a big chunk of memory to flash in a new file and noting how many bytes were written before deleting the temporary file again...

I really suggest checking the fat table though.
Been gone for some time. Now I'm back. Someone mind getting me up-2-date?
