ESP32のSPIFFSがおかしい様だ

##Arduino IDEのESP32のSPIFFSで書込が変

という現象に合いました。よく分からんので検証してみました。
テストコードは以下になります。サンプルのSPIFFSスケッチを一部書換えてテストしています。

SPIFFS_WriteTest.ino

#include "FS.h"
#include "SPIFFS.h"

/*
 *   ESP32 file make write test
 *   
 */

#define FORMAT_SPIFFS_IF_FAILED true

void listDir(fs::FS &fs, const char * dirname, uint8_t levels){
    Serial.printf("Listing directory: %s\r\n", dirname);

    File root = fs.open(dirname);
    if(!root){
        Serial.println("- failed to open directory");
        return;
    }
    if(!root.isDirectory()){
        Serial.println(" - not a directory");
        return;
    }

    File file = root.openNextFile();
    while(file){
        if(file.isDirectory()){
            Serial.print("  DIR : ");
            Serial.println(file.name());
            if(levels){
                listDir(fs, file.name(), levels -1);
            }
        } else {
            Serial.print("  FILE: ");
            Serial.print(file.name());
            Serial.print("\tSIZE: ");
            Serial.println(file.size());
        }
        file = root.openNextFile();
    }
}



void testFileWR(fs::FS &fs, const char * path){
    Serial.printf("Testing file Write with %s\r\n", path);

    #define SIZE   512
    static uint8_t buf[SIZE];
    size_t len = 0;
    File file = fs.open(path, FILE_WRITE);
    if(!file){
        Serial.println("- failed to open file for writing");
        return;
    }

    size_t i;
    int b;
    int n = 80;
    Serial.print("- writing" );
    uint32_t start = millis();
    for(i=0; i<n; i++){
        if ((i & 0x001F) == 0x001F){
          Serial.print(".");
        }
        b=file.write(buf, SIZE);
        if(b<SIZE){
            Serial.print("  Write Error!!  .. ");
            Serial.println(b);
            break;
        }
    }
    Serial.println("");
    uint32_t end = millis() - start;
    Serial.printf(" - %u bytes written in %u ms\r\n", n * SIZE, end);
    file.close();

}

void setup(){
    Serial.begin(115200);

    Serial.println("Now Formatting...");
    SPIFFS.format();
    Serial.println("END");
    
    if(!SPIFFS.begin(FORMAT_SPIFFS_IF_FAILED)){
        Serial.println("SPIFFS Mount Failed");
        return;
    }

    
    listDir(SPIFFS, "/", 0);
    Serial.printf("Total :%lu\r\n",SPIFFS.totalBytes());
    Serial.printf("Used  :%lu\r\n",SPIFFS.usedBytes());

//    Serial.println( "Test complete" );
    
}

/*
 *     TEST LOOP
 * 
 */
 
int  n=1;
char fn[30];
void loop()
{
    delay(2000);

    sprintf(fn,"/%08d.txt",n++);

//    deleteFile(SPIFFS, fn);
    testFileWR(SPIFFS, fn);
    
    Serial.println(fn); 
    Serial.printf("Total :%lu\r\n",SPIFFS.totalBytes());
    Serial.printf("Used  :%lu\r\n",SPIFFS.usedBytes());
}

ビルドオプションは No-OTA (2MB App/2MB SPIFFS)でビルドしました。

40960バイトづつファイルを追加していきます。
最初は問題なく　315msecくらいでファイルが作成されていきます。

保存容量が1.2MBytesを越えたあたりから書込速度が遅くなります。

保存容量いっぱいになる前に書込みが不能となります。

ESP32DevKitC , DevKit互換機で試してみたけど同じ。また、一回の書込み容量を増やしても減らしても状況は変わりませんでした。なにやら良く分かりませんね。
