I have been using FFS 8.10 on Ubuntu 16.04 for a few weeks now. Everything has been fine, until today.

When I try to sync my local hard drive (the same) with a USB stick (the same), I get this error:
Glib Error Code 12: Unable to create trashing info file: No space left on device [g_file_trash]
The drive is FAT32 and has >3GB free space (16GB total space). I am not sure if there is a problem with the number of files but one of the directories I am trying to sync has many (10,000s of) small (<1kb) files. There are only 5,000 changed files, out of > 60,000. Syncing the 60,000 before was fine but now, it is not fine.

Any ideas?
