STATUS_STORAGE_LOST_DATA_PERSISTENCE

The storage stack no longer guarantees persistence

This status belongs to the lower storage, disk, virtual-disk, or file-system repair path. For STATUS_STORAGE_LOST_DATA_PERSISTENCE, treat it as a boundary between the caller and the storage stack, not as a generic application error.

This status indicates a severe storage capability or media condition: the device cannot guarantee that data remains persistent as expected. Treat it as an integrity and availability problem, not just transient I/O failure.

For STATUS_STORAGE_LOST_DATA_PERSISTENCE, 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

  • Collect device health, power-loss, and controller events.
  • Check whether the device entered maintenance, write-protect, or degraded mode.
  • Validate data from a known-good backup or replica if persistence was lost.
