ACFS-07574

snapshot marked for delete: string (identifier: number) was still present

Cause

File system checking has identified the metadata inconsistency reported in the message. A snapshot was marked for delete, but did not get deleted due to open files in the snapshot. There are two possible causes why the snapshot was not deleted.

  1. The volume went offline while there were still open files in the snapshot.
  2. The system was unexpectedly shutdown while there were still open files in the snapshot.

Action

If the message was generated by the ACFS Fixer, then no further action is needed. The ACFS Fixer has resolved the problem. If the message was generated by the ACFS Checker, then run the Fixer to resolve the problem. Frequent metadata inconsistencies may point to internal errors. In this case, contact Oracle Support Services.
