Hello,
I like the suggestion of STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED. Thanks! 
About FAT and IFS Test, I would also expect that there are consistent with
each other. However maybe the IFS Test for page file creation should stop
when it sees that the volume is removable as suggested by David J. Craig.
Best regards,
David Burg.

The problem is that ACCESS_DENIED indicates a security related failure.
We generally return STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED when asked to open a paging
file.
Interestingly enough, FAT does return ACCESS_DENIED under some
circumstances, which suggests that the IFS Kit test is probably being
overly restrictive in this case.

Hello,
An engineer from my team pointed that IFS Test complains about our
CreatePagingFileTest implementation returning status
STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
More exactly:

Group :OpenCreateGeneral
File

Actually, our fsd is working on removable media so we have to fail the
request. But what will be the appropriate status to return? I looked for
NtCreatePagingFile documentation on MSDN, IFS Kit help file, osronline
ntfsd
archive, google… But could find any documentation of valid status for
NtCreatePagingFile failure.
I found a book describing statuses STATUS_PRIVILEGE_NOT_HELD,
STATUS_OBJECT_NAME_INVALID, STATUS_TOO_MANY_PAGING_FILES and
STATUS_FLOPPY_VOLUME as valid failures. However none of those seems to
appropriately define the failure our fsd would like to report (the best
approximation we see is STATUS_FLOPPY_VOLUME - not much satisfying).
Can someone points me to the documentation of NtCreatePagingFile?

David Burg
