Unauthorized or manual modifications were made directly to symlinks or their targets within the ACFS volume, bypassing ACFS management.
⚠️
ACFS Internal Inconsistency
An internal issue within the ACFS file system, possibly due to a bug or unexpected shutdown, led to a metadata mismatch for the symlink.
