STATUS_FILE_SYSTEM_LIMITATION
A file-system-specific limit blocked the operation
This is a broad file-system limit status. The failing operation can be valid in principle while the particular volume, file-system format, metadata state or feature limit prevents completion.
The important detail is the specific operation: link creation, allocation growth, metadata update, compression, sparse file handling, VDL movement, reparse data or cloud placeholder metadata can each have different limits.
What to inspect
- Record the exact FSCTL, create option or file information class.
- Query volume file-system attributes and limits.
- Avoid generic disk-space conclusions until the failing metadata limit is identified.
