Problem is caused by the fact that F3S marks the written sectors as reserved, to avoid any filesystem damage by Windows CE. As partitioning is based on logical sector layer, the number of available logical sectors will decrease all the time and the partition driver will mark a partition invalid as soon as the starting sector of a (f3s) partition is higher than the overall logical sector number.
The risk of reaching this critical memory usage even is much higher when two F3S partitions are used.
