overload Preferences.getBytes similar to nvs so you can get size of the array.

@lbernstone Sorry, New version. I last worked on NVS over a year ago, Looks like they implement a spanning blob sometime within the last year.

from: NVS documentation Entry and Entry state Bitmap

For values of primitive types (currently integers from 1 to 8 bytes long), entry holds one key-value pair. For string and blob types, entry holds part of the whole key-value pair. For strings, in case when a key-value pair spans multiple entries, all entries are stored in the same page. Blobs are allowed to span over multiple pages by dividing them into smaller chunks. For the purpose tracking these chunks, an additional fixed length metadata entry is stored called “blob index” entry. Earlier format of blobs are still supported (can be read and modified). However, once the blobs are modified, they are stored using the new format.

I just "knew" this value was out of range, Sorry.

Chuck.
