STATUS_DISK_OPERATION_FAILED
The lower disk operation failed after retry
This status belongs to the lower storage, disk, virtual-disk, or file-system repair path. For STATUS_DISK_OPERATION_FAILED, treat it as a boundary between the caller and the storage stack, not as a generic application error.
This status reports failure below the file-system contract. It is most useful when correlated with the specific CDB, block range, storage path, and device error log.
For STATUS_DISK_OPERATION_FAILED, the most useful evidence is the failing operation, device or volume identity, storage-event log, disk health data, and whether the volume was online, read-only, virtualized, encrypted, compressed, sparse, or under repair.
What to inspect
- Capture the failing operation and LBA range if available.
- Check disk, controller, and multipath events.
- Do not diagnose it as a sharing or ACL problem without lower storage evidence.
