STATUS_GHOSTED
The I/O range intersects a ghosted file-system range
This is a successful NTSTATUS result, not a generic failure. It tells the caller that at least part of the requested byte range overlaps a range the file system currently classifies as ghosted. The public NTSTATUS contract does not define the on-disk representation or promise that every file system uses the state in the same way.
Code that receives this status should preserve the exact operation, offset, length, file-system type, and any returned range information. Treating the status as ordinary success can hide a special range state; treating it as corruption can be equally wrong. The correct follow-up depends on the API that returned it.
What to inspect
- Record the control code or file operation that returned the status.
- Compare the requested range with the current file size and allocation map.
- Do not rewrite or truncate the range merely to make the status disappear.
