IMAPI_E_STASHFILE_SEEK_FAILURE
IMAPI_E_STASHFILE_SEEK_FAILURE means a temporary staging file was opened but IMAPI could not reposition within it as required while constructing the image. Stash files are built in the WorkingDirectory and act as local backing storage for staged file data.
Treat the temporary file and its storage volume as the failing layer
- Record the working-directory path and underlying volume/file-system type.
- Check for file truncation, concurrent modification, storage faults, or middleware that virtualizes temporary files.
- Preserve lower-level I/O diagnostics from the volume around the time of the seek failure.
This differs from IMAPI_E_STASHFILE_OPEN_FAILURE: IMAPI got far enough to use the stash file and then failed on positioning. Recreating the image may move the temporary data to a new file and hide an intermittent storage issue, so retain disk and filesystem event logs before retrying. If a custom temp location is configured, compare behavior with a local fixed NTFS volume.
