OCI-44902

failed to resolve symbolic link "string"

Cause

The system was unable to fully resolve a path with symbolic links within a reasonable number of steps. It could be due to cycles in definitions of symbolic links or very long chains of symbolic links to symbolic links.


Action

Remove any cycles in symbolic link definitions. If there are no cycles, reduce the length of chains of symbolic links to symbolic links.
