Filesystem vs malloc space

[Thomas Doerfler]

I think you missinterprete the functionality of
IMFS_memfile_maximum_size(): It does not return the amount of memory
left for file creation, but returns a constant, that defines the maximum
file size, that can be created using the IMFS, even if more memory would
be available. In normal configurations, the size of each file is limited
to 4MByte.

wkr,
Thomas.
