I understood what you said. However, it is a natural result
when deleting the related code with EXFAT_SB_DIRTY flag.

So I thought it would be better to separate it into new problems
related to VOL_DIRTY-set under not real errors.

I think it's not a problem not to clear VOL_DIRTY under real errors,
because VOL_DIRTY is just like a hint to note that write was not finished clearly.

If you mean there are more situation like ENOTEMPTY you mentioned,
please make new patch to fix them.
Thanks.
