STATUS_INVALID_EA_NAME
The EA name is not valid for this file system
This status is about the name of an extended attribute, not the data stored in it. The file system rejected the EA name before the attribute could be queried or set.
The useful evidence is the exact name bytes and how the request was built. Conversion, truncation and accidental inclusion of terminators are common causes when code assembles EA buffers manually.
What to inspect
- Capture the raw EA name and length as passed to the native API.
- Check for invalid characters, empty names, length mismatch and unexpected encoding conversion.
- Compare with STATUS_EA_LIST_INCONSISTENT when the buffer layout, not only the name, is invalid.
