STATUS_VHD_METADATA_FULL
STATUS_VHD_METADATA_FULL means the virtual disk cannot accommodate an additional metadata item in the space reserved for metadata. It is not the same as a full guest filesystem and does not mean that the virtual disk's payload capacity has been exhausted.
This differs from STATUS_VHD_BLOCK_ALLOCATION_FAILURE, which concerns extending data blocks for guest writes, and from STATUS_VHD_METADATA_WRITE_FAILURE, which can occur for a failed write even when metadata capacity exists. Here the limiting resource is metadata-region space or its allocation policy.
Identify the metadata operation
- Record the metadata identifier, the API or management operation and the virtual-disk format before making changes.
- Do not delete an unknown metadata item merely to create room; metadata can carry provider-specific state needed to open the disk safely.
- Use a supported virtual-disk management path and a backup copy when changing metadata layout or converting the image.
