STATUS_ORPHAN_NAME_EXHAUSTED

Recovered orphan files cannot receive additional names

The file system found orphaned files but could not create more names in the recovery directory. The limitation concerns naming and directory capacity during salvage; it does not mean the orphaned content is automatically lost.

Move already recovered items out of the recovery directory before rerunning repair. Preserve timestamps and identifiers if later ownership analysis is required. Do not delete unknown recovered files merely to make room until their content has been reviewed or copied.

What to inspect

  • Inventory the existing recovery directory and available namespace entries.
  • Move reviewed recovered files to another volume or directory.
  • Rerun the supported repair and compare newly recovered objects.
