      What is limiting the flash to 508K on 8MB devices?

        @cmisztur Which firmware version & device are you using. On my 8MB devices the flash file system has a size of 4 MB. Tested on
        Lopy4, FiPy, WiPy3 with firmware 1.18.1.b1.

          @robert-hh LoPy4 1.19.0.b4.

          import uos
          uos.getfree("/flash")
          

          Returns 435. I have about 55KB stored on /flash at this time.

          I tried to FTP a 3.1MB file and it got truncated to ~445KB, and uos.getfree('/flash') returns 0.
