STATUS_COMPRESSION_DISABLED
The file system will not enable compression for this file
This status is returned when a compression request reaches a file system or object store that does not allow the requested compression state. It is different from a corrupt compressed file.
The MS-FSA model explicitly fails FSCTL_SET_COMPRESSION with this status when compression support is disabled in the object store. Volume format, cluster size and policy can all matter.
What to inspect
- Query the file-system attributes and compression support flags.
- Check the volume format and cluster size before blaming the file.
- For remote shares, consider server-side file-system capabilities and policy.
