ERROR_HANDLE_DISK_FULL
The target behind this handle has no allocatable space
ERROR_HANDLE_DISK_FULL is a handle-oriented disk-capacity failure. It may be returned while extending a file, allocating metadata, flushing buffered content, or committing data to the volume associated with an existing handle.
Checks to perform
- Resolve the handle to the actual volume, including redirected or mounted paths.
- Inspect free capacity, quotas, and thin-provisioned backing storage.
- Allow for filesystem metadata and temporary allocation needs.
- Check whether delayed writes caused the error to surface during flush or close.
Recovery
Free space or move the operation to another volume, then validate the partially written file before resuming. Applications should remove abandoned temporary output and report the destination volume clearly. Space checks made before writing cannot guarantee later success on a shared system.
