Oracle Database Error ACFS-03105: Snapshot Delete In Progress
Description
This error indicates that an attempt to create a new Oracle ACFS snapshot has failed because a prior operation, specifically the deletion of a snapshot, is still actively running. It means the file system is currently busy processing a previous snapshot deletion request, preventing immediate creation of new snapshots.
Error Message
Cannot create snapshot string . Previous delete of snapshot string is still in progress.
Known Causes
3 known causesLong-Running Snapshot Deletion
The previous snapshot deletion operation is taking an unexpectedly long time to complete due to large data volumes, I/O contention, or system resource limitations.
Concurrent Snapshot Operations
Multiple snapshot management commands (e.g., delete and then create) were issued too closely together, causing a race condition where the deletion hasn't finished before the creation attempt.
System Resource Contention
The ACFS system or underlying storage is experiencing high load or resource contention, slowing down the snapshot deletion process and blocking subsequent operations.
