STATUS_NO_TXF_METADATA
The file is ordinary NTFS state, not a TxF-managed object
Some legacy TxF control operations query or restore transaction-specific metadata attached to a file. This warning means the target does not carry the metadata needed by that operation. It does not by itself indicate that the file contents or normal NTFS metadata are corrupt.
Confirm that the handle refers to the intended file version and volume. A path reopened outside its transaction, a copied file, a post-commit file, or a file on a filesystem without TxF support can legitimately have no transactional metadata.
What to inspect
- Record the final path, volume filesystem, handle origin, and transaction ID associated with the request.
- Check whether the file was copied, replaced, committed, rolled back, or reopened non-transactionally.
- Do not create synthetic TxF metadata merely to satisfy a backup or restore tool.
- For new designs, use a supported application-level recovery scheme instead of adding new TxF dependencies.
