STATUS_DISK_RESOURCES_EXHAUSTED
The disk cannot allocate the physical resources needed
This status belongs to the lower storage, disk, virtual-disk, or file-system repair path. For STATUS_DISK_RESOURCES_EXHAUSTED, treat it as a boundary between the caller and the storage stack, not as a generic application error.
This is not a normal file quota error. It indicates the disk or storage subsystem exhausted resources needed to service the request, such as internal pools, mappings, spare blocks, or virtualization backing resources.
For STATUS_DISK_RESOURCES_EXHAUSTED, 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
- Check disk health and storage-pool capacity.
- Look for thin-provisioning, snapshot, or controller resource exhaustion.
- Record whether the target is physical, virtual, or storage-pool backed.
