ERROR_REMOTE_FILE_VERSION_MISMATCH
The remote file identity returned during transacted access no longer matches the open
ERROR_REMOTE_FILE_VERSION_MISMATCH is a Transactional NTFS (TxF) file-system status. The system description ties this status to a mismatching version number or file identifier for a file opened with transactions. TxF tracks file versions and transactional identity so a handle continues to refer to the expected object view. A mismatch means the remote side returned state that cannot be reconciled with the transactional open already held by the client.
Capture the original file identity and version information together with reconnect, failover, or redirector events. Do not treat the condition as ordinary stale cached data and continue writing through the handle. Close the affected transacted handle, re-resolve the path and server, and decide whether the whole transaction can safely retry. If the path can move between servers or shares, verify that the storage topology preserves the same transactional file identity.
What to inspect
- Correlate the error with reconnect, server failover, and namespace redirection.
- Discard the mismatched handle instead of continuing I/O against uncertain identity.
- Retry only at a transaction boundary where the file path and identity can be validated again.
