Oracle Database Error ACFS-05712: ACFS Tags FIFO Incompatibility

📦 Oracle Database
📋

Description

This error indicates that an Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (ACFS) operation involving file system tags encountered a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) named pipe. ACFS tags are designed for regular files and directories and do not support special file types like FIFOs. Consequently, the operation skips the identified FIFO file because tagging is not applicable to it, and typically continues for other valid files.
