Thanks for testing. "logical block size: 27499" is wrong value
completely. Of course, fatfs is assuming the blocksize is not changed.
(mmc wasn't resumed correctly?)

Well, this problem seems to be completely different problem, and it
seems the problem of suspend or mmc (or block?) stuff, or something.

It would need to be analyzed by those people.

Meanwhile, I'll apply this patch to workaround suspend problem and to
remove unneeded write for next window.

Thanks.
