It would have been interesting to see the filesystem after this error message.
Can you reproduce the error?

(vfat? I don't know - most cameras just use msdos, but vfat doesnt harm,

The error message means that the fatfs followed a chain of clusters in order
to delete them all and found a free cluster before finding an end-of-file mark.
