STATUS_RECOVERY_FAILURE

Transaction recovery could not complete

This status reports failure while recovering transactional state. The short public description does not identify whether the returning component is replaying a file-system log, restoring transactional metadata, or recovering another resource managed through a transaction mechanism.

The useful evidence is therefore the recovery owner and its log. Preserve the first failure in the event stream, the affected volume or resource, and any preceding checksum, log, or storage errors. Repeatedly retrying recovery without protecting the original logs can destroy the evidence needed to distinguish corrupt metadata from unavailable storage.

What to inspect

  • Identify the component that emitted the status rather than assuming it is NTFS or ReFS.
  • Save relevant event logs and transaction or recovery logs before destructive repair.
  • Check whether the underlying volume is stable and writable during replay.
