ERROR_LOG_CONTAINER_STATE_INVALID
Log service encountered an invalid container state when attempting a requested action.
ERROR_LOG_CONTAINER_STATE_INVALID is Win32 error 6642 (0x000019F2).
Where the result appears
- removing a container that is still active.
- using a container while initialization is incomplete.
- reopening a container after an interrupted management operation.
- processing a container whose descriptor disagrees with physical state.
What to verify
Verify whether the container is in a state that permits the requested add, remove, archive, read, or write transition. Check container state and generation, management operation in progress, and base-log descriptors before and after failure.
Likely causes
- the container transition was interrupted.
- the caller uses stale container information.
- metadata and file state disagree.
- a container is pending removal or initialization.
- concurrent management changed the container generation.
Troubleshooting steps
- Collect container state and generation.
- Record management operation in progress.
- Correlate base-log descriptors before and after failure with the owning application log, CLFS-related System events, storage events, and any transaction or recovery trace.
Handling, retry, and recovery
Allow the current transition to finish, reopen the log to obtain current state, validate metadata, and retry only the operation valid for that container state.
Related errors
ERROR_LOG_STATE_INVALID concerns the state of the overall log service or log object; this code is specific to one container.
Example
A maintenance tool retries removal using a container identifier captured before another tool extended the log. Re-enumerating the containers reveals a new generation and prevents removal of the active container.
