Oracle Database Error ACFS-03006: ACFS Minimum Size Violation
Description
This error indicates an attempt to shrink or resize an Oracle ACFS file system to a size smaller than the minimum required to safely hold its current data and metadata. Oracle ACFS prevents this operation to avoid data corruption or loss. The error message explicitly states the smallest permissible size.
Error Message
smallest size, without loss of data, is: number ( number MB)
Known Causes
3 known causesAttempted Shrink Below Data Threshold
A user or automated process attempted to resize an ACFS file system to a capacity smaller than the actual amount of data it currently contains.
Insufficient Target Size Specification
The target size specified for a resizing operation (e.g., using `acfsutil size`) was less than the minimum required to accommodate existing files and ACFS metadata.
Unaccounted Data Growth
The ACFS file system has grown, and a subsequent shrink operation did not account for the increased data footprint, leading to a size conflict.
