📋

Description

This error indicates an internal inconsistency within the metadata of an ACFS (ASM Cluster File System). Specifically, a critical `_Locator structure` has an incorrect `_node_count` value, pointing to corruption in the ACFS file system's internal structures. It typically occurs during ACFS operations such as mounting, validation, or file system access, preventing proper operation.

Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
Underlying Storage Corruption
Physical or logical corruption on the underlying storage devices (e.g., ASM disks) can lead to inconsistencies in ACFS metadata structures.
⚠️
Abrupt System Termination
Unclean shutdowns or power failures can leave ACFS metadata in an inconsistent state, causing the `_node_count` to be incorrect upon restart.
⚠️
ACFS Software Defects
Rarely, bugs in the ACFS software itself or issues introduced by patches can lead to incorrect updates of internal metadata structures.
⚠️
ASM Instance Inconsistencies
Problems within the underlying ASM (Automatic Storage Management) instance, which manages ACFS storage, can propagate and affect ACFS metadata integrity.
