Error STATUS_CANNOT_DELETE and FAT

NTFSD
1

I have ordered the IFS kit, so I’ll be able to look at
the sources for FAT in a few days.

But, in the mean time, anyone know under what
circumstances FAT will refuse to delete a file with a
return code of STATUS_CANNOT_DELETE (0xC0000121)? The
file is successfully opened but the
IRP_MJ_SET_INFORMATION that follows is what fails.
I’m pretty sure that the file is not referenced by
anyone else.

In user-land I get “Access denied”. If I let the
machine sit for a while, things apparently get
straightened out and the system will delete the file.

Thanks,

  • deleting a root directory
  • deleting a read-only file
  • deleting a file which was mmaped by the user app
