STATUS_FILE_IS_OFFLINE
The file is marked offline and may require recall
This status is tied to hierarchical storage, remote storage or placeholder-style file systems. The file name and metadata can be visible while the contents are not immediately local.
The diagnostic question is whether the provider can recall or hydrate the file. Local ACL checks can succeed while the data path still fails because the file is offline.
What to inspect
- Inspect FILE_ATTRIBUTE_OFFLINE and any cloud or HSM provider state.
- Check network/provider availability before assuming local disk corruption.
- Avoid clearing the offline attribute arbitrarily; it is provider-owned metadata.
