NS_E_PDA_DEVICE_FULL
Diagnostic meaning beyond the standard message
The actionable meaning of 0xC00D117F / NS_E_PDA_DEVICE_FULL is checking free device storage before adding the requested object.
Why the operation can reach this point
A device shown in Explorer can still disappear from the Player’s WMDM session or reject a media format, filename, directory operation or storage request. One concrete reproduction is: the queued file is larger than the currently reported free space.
Evidence matrix
| Evidence | Why it matters for device full |
|---|---|
| Producing object and operation | PnP instance and interface path, WMDM service-provider CLSID, device/partnership ID, connection generation, storage object and capacity, format-support result, firmware version, operation callback and first device or transport HRESULT |
| Key observation | target storage ID, free/total/unusable bytes, item size and reserved overhead |
| Controlled comparison | Repeat the producing call after changing only this condition: free space or select another storage target before restarting the item. |
Minimal experiment
- Capture
0xC00D117F, the exact Player/API operation and the first timestamp at which it appears. - Save target storage ID, free/total/unusable bytes, item size and reserved overhead; do this before ejecting media, reconnecting a device, canceling a job or rebuilding the Player object.
- Correlate the result with PnP instance and interface path, WMDM service-provider CLSID, device/partnership ID, connection generation, storage object and capacity, format-support result, firmware version, operation callback and first device or transport HRESULT.
- Reproduce once with the original source and destination, then apply only this change: free space or select another storage target before restarting the item.
Do not collapse it with these results
| Related result | Different condition |
|---|---|
NS_E_PDA_DEVICE_FULL_IN_SESSION | exhausting device capacity after the sync session already transferred earlier items |
NS_E_PDA_FAIL_READ_WAVE_FILE | opening and parsing a WAV source used for device transfer or conversion |
NS_E_PDA_FAIL_SELECT_DEVICE | binding the operation to the user-selected device from the current enumeration |
Recovery and verification
Resolve the responsible precondition: Free space or select another storage target before restarting the item. A successful retest must pass the same device full checkpoint, not merely hide the message in a different UI path.
During verification, do not assume the old interface pointer remains valid after reconnect; Re-enumerate the device and storage objects and correlate the failure with the same connection generation.
