STATUS_FILE_FORCED_CLOSED
The file handle was invalidated by an external close
This result can appear when a remote server, redirector, administrative action, or teardown path closes an open file outside the caller’s normal lifetime. It differs from a local double-close bug because the caller may still hold state associated with a handle that the storage stack has revoked.
The application must fail or reconstruct the operation from a known checkpoint. Blindly replaying non-idempotent writes after reopening can duplicate or reorder data.
What to inspect
- Determine whether the handle belongs to a remote share, removable volume, or teardown sequence.
- Record the last confirmed file position and completed write boundary.
- Reopen and replay only operations whose idempotency and ordering are explicitly defined.
