All we have to do is search the entire FAT for free clusters and sum them up. That takes quite a few seconds, depending on the size of the FAT. We have code that does exactly that, but only in the debug menu. If the user accepts this (battery-draining) behaviour, we can change that in an instance. But it means that the disk will spin up and search the FAT for 5-10 (or more) seconds when the info menu is entered. Opinions? Comments?
