Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
Insufficient Permissions
The Oracle user or ACFS processes lack the necessary operating system permissions to delete directories within the specified mount point on the standby node.
⚠️
Directory In Use or Locked
Another process on the standby node is actively using or holding a lock on the directory that ACFS replication attempted to delete, preventing its removal.
⚠️
Filesystem Issues
Underlying filesystem corruption, insufficient free space, or an inconsistent state on the standby node's ACFS mount point prevents directory deletion.
⚠️
ACFS Resource Inconsistency
The ACFS resource or its configuration on the standby node might be in an inconsistent state, leading to unexpected directory deletion failures.
