STATUS_INVALID_EA_FLAG
The EA flag field contains an unsupported value
The EA entry exists structurally, but the flag bits are not valid for the requested operation. This is different from a bad EA name or malformed EA list.
The diagnostic target is the EA metadata fields, not file contents. Inspect code that copies EA records from another system or modifies flags without preserving the expected Windows representation.
What to inspect
- Record the EA flags for each entry.
- Clear unsupported or uninitialized bits before submitting the request.
- Check whether the buffer came from a non-Windows file-system translation layer.
