NS_E_ALLOCATE_FILE_FAIL
The server failed to allocate a block file
NS_E_ALLOCATE_FILE_FAIL (0xC00D0061) belongs to a concrete Windows Media Services file-allocation operation. It does not simply mean “disk problem”: the server had a specific path and requested allocation that could not be completed.
What to log
Preserve canonical path, requested size or block type, service identity, free space, quota, filesystem, and the first native error returned by create/extend/allocation. Also record whether the file already existed and its sharing state.
Verification
Reproduce the same allocation under the service account on the same volume. Fix the exact storage or access condition found. An open-file-count limit is a separate boundary and should surface as NS_E_OPEN_FILE_LIMIT.
