Description

This error indicates that the Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (ACFS) has detected an internal change in its file system namespace. As a result, ACFS is unable to reliably map an internal file or directory identifier to its current pathname, preventing file system operations. It commonly occurs after significant file system modifications or synchronization issues.

Error Message

The file system name space has changed and a pathname cannot be obtained.

Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
ACFS File System Renamed/Relocated
The ACFS file system or a significant directory within it was renamed or moved, causing a mismatch between its internal identifiers and external pathnames.
⚠️
Cluster Synchronization Failure
In a clustered environment, different nodes may have an inconsistent view of the ACFS file system metadata, leading to namespace discrepancies.
⚠️
ACFS Metadata Corruption
Corruption within the ACFS file system's internal metadata structures prevents the correct mapping of internal file identifiers to their pathnames.
⚠️
Unclean File System Dismount
An abrupt shutdown or improper unmounting of the ACFS file system may leave its namespace metadata in an inconsistent state upon subsequent remount.
