⚠️
ACFS Metadata Corruption
The internal metadata for the ACFS file, including its replication SCN, has become corrupted on disk or in memory.
⚠️
Incomplete Recovery/Failover
A previous recovery operation, failover, or snapshot restore was not fully completed or applied correctly, leaving SCN values inconsistent.
⚠️
Underlying Storage Problems
Problems with the underlying storage system (e.g., disk errors, SAN issues) could lead to corruption of ACFS metadata and SCN values.
