Oracle Database Error ACFS-05921: Path Name Exceeds Limit
Description
This error indicates that one or more files could not be transferred from an Oracle ACFS mount point because their full path names (including directories and filename) exceeded the maximum allowed character limit. It typically occurs during operations like file replication, migration, or backup when ACFS attempts to move files to a destination with a stricter path length constraint.
Error Message
One or more files under mount point ' string ' was not transferred because its path name exceeded number characters. The first such file was in directory ' string ' and had name ' string '.
Known Causes
4 known causesOperating System Path Limit
The destination operating system or the underlying file system has a maximum path length that is shorter than the full path of the file being transferred from ACFS.
Deeply Nested Directories
The file is located within a deeply nested directory structure, causing its full path name to exceed the allowed character count when combined with the filename.
Excessively Long Filenames
Individual filenames are very long, pushing the total path length over the limit, especially when combined with a moderately deep directory structure.
ACFS Configuration Limits
Specific configurations or versions of Oracle ACFS might impose internal path length restrictions that are being exceeded by certain files during transfer operations.
