= The error message indicates that the volume my_data_vol is WAFL inconsistent, which means that

there is a discrepancy between the data blocks and the metadata in the file system. This can be

caused by various factors, such as hardware failures, software bugs, power outages, or network

disruptions. The first action to correct this issue is to determine the root cause behind the

inconsistency before attempting any recovery procedure, as recommended by the NetApp

documentation1. This is because some recovery procedures, such as wafliron or storage takeover,

may not work or may cause further damage if the underlying cause is not resolved. For example, if

the inconsistency is due to a faulty disk or shelf, running wafliron may not fix the problem and may

even corrupt more data. Therefore, it is important to identify and isolate the cause of the

inconsistency before taking any further steps. Reference = 1 Volume Showing WAFL Inconsistent -
