Description
I have a board with a 16MB flash on it. When I configured SPIFFS way back when I declared spiffs_obj_id as a uint16_t. The system has been working well enough for a long time, but I also don't create a lot files. There's normally about 20 files, and one of them is a large file that's basically a database that gets a fair number of writes to it. As I was looking at the configuration for a different reason, it appears I should have declared spiffs_obj_id to be a uint32_t.
What are the implications of it being too small? I've spent a while trying to follow what happens to obj_id, but there's so many references to it in different structures that it rapidly gets confusing to keep track of what's what.
As near as I can suss out, as long as I have less than 32766 files ('objects') on the file system, I should be OK?
Thanks!
