ERROR_ALLOCATE_BUCKET
What ERROR_ALLOCATE_BUCKET means
The current structure has no capacity for the requested insertion. The status instructs the owning storage algorithm to expand its bucket array and retry under the same transaction rules.
Where it appears
- legacy file-system metadata indexing
- transactional hash tables in storage components
- internal allocation paths exposed through diagnostics
Likely causes
- bucket occupancy crossed its growth threshold
- growth was deferred to keep the original operation atomic
- metadata expansion requires a separate transaction step
What to collect
- bucket count, occupancy, and requested insertion
- transaction ID and retry count
- available metadata space
- evidence of prior incomplete growth
How to respond
Grow the structure using its supported metadata transaction, commit that change, and retry the original request once. Repeated occurrences after successful growth point to corrupted accounting or a failed commit.
