STATUS_TXF_ATTRIBUTE_CORRUPT
The file or directory has unreadable TxF metadata
STATUS_TXF_ATTRIBUTE_CORRUPT indicates that TxF-specific metadata attached to a file or directory is corrupt or unreadable. The affected path may be visible through NTFS, but the transactional attribute needed by TxF cannot be trusted.
Because TxF relies on metadata and logs for recovery, this status should be correlated with volume health and transaction recovery events rather than treated as an ordinary application error.
What to check
- Volume health, NTFS events, and any storage errors near the time of the failure.
- TxF resource-manager recovery logs and Common Log File System errors.
- Whether the failure is isolated to one file, one directory tree, or the whole volume.
- Recent crash, restore, backup, filter-driver, or offline-edit activity touching TxF metadata.
Useful distinction
This status names corruption of transactional metadata, not necessarily corruption of the user data stream itself. Validate both, but avoid assuming the file contents and TxF attribute failed in the same way.
