Oracle Database Error ACFS-03832: Read-Only Mountpoint File Share Creation

📋

Description

This error indicates that an attempt was made to create a file share string on an Oracle ACFS (Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System) mountpoint that is currently set to read-only. ACFS prevents any write operations, including creating file shares, when the underlying file system is in a read-only state. This typically occurs when the ACFS volume is intentionally or unintentionally mounted with read-only permissions.

💬

Error Message

Cannot create file share string in a read only mountpoint.

Known Causes

4 known causes

⚠️

Explicit Read-Only Mount

The Oracle ACFS mountpoint was deliberately mounted with read-only permissions by an administrator or a system script, preventing any write operations.

⚠️

Underlying Storage Issue

Problems with the underlying storage (e.g., disk errors, I/O issues) or detected file system corruption can cause ACFS to automatically remount as read-only to protect data integrity.

⚠️

OS Permissions/Configuration

Incorrect operating system file system permissions or an unexpected configuration at the OS level might enforce read-only access on the ACFS mountpoint.

⚠️

ACFS Integrity Check Failure

During system startup or recovery, if ACFS detects inconsistencies within the file system, it may mount the volume as read-only to allow for inspection and repair without further damage.
