             The fast seek feature enables fast backward/long seek operations without
             FAT access by using an in-memory CLMT (cluster link map table).
-            It is applied to f_read and f_write function as well, however,
-            the file size cannot be expanded by write function.
+            Please note, fast-seek is only allowed for read-mode files, if a
+            file is opened in write-mode, the seek mechanism will automatically fallback
+            to the default implementation.

 The convenience functions ``esp_vfs_fat_sdmmc_mount``, ``esp_vfs_fat_sdspi_mount`` and ``esp_vfs_fat_sdcard_unmount`` wrap the steps described above and also handle SD card initialization. These two functions are described in the next section.
