Incorrect Configuration

⚠️
Underlying Storage Change
A previously valid local path for the OKS log directory was later reconfigured or mounted as an NFS share without updating the ACFS configuration.
⚠️
ACFS Design Limitation
Oracle ACFS explicitly prohibits NFS-mounted directories for its internal OKS log files due to strict performance and data integrity requirements.
