Summary
If you have setup Rman backup and you get the error
ORA-17505: ksfdrsz:1 failed to resize file to size x blocks then the workaround is:
1. Go to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs in the unix filesystem
make $ll -lt sna*
to find the old snapcf_SID.f
2. Rename it to old
$mv snapcf_SID.f snapcf_SID.f.old
3. Do a resync of the catalog
$rman target sys/**** catalog rman/****@rman
resync catalog;
Resyncing will create new snapcf_SID.f
4. Run Rman backup again.
