Excessive Snapshot Name Length
The user-specified name for the ACFS volume snapshot surpasses the maximum character or byte limit enforced by the ACFS system.
⚠️
Character Set Impact
The length limit might be measured in bytes, and using multi-byte characters (e.g., UTF-8) can cause a shorter string of characters to exceed the byte limit.
