Oracle Database Error ACFS-03137: Duplicate Mount Point Entries

📦 Oracle Database
📋

Description

This error occurs in Oracle ACFS when the system detects multiple configurations or registrations for a single mount point. It prevents commands from executing successfully because the system cannot uniquely identify the intended ACFS volume to operate on, requiring more specific identification like a volume name.
💬

Error Message

Multiple entries exist for the mount point string . Rerun the command with the volume name.

Known Causes

4 known causes
⚠️
Duplicate Configuration Entries
The ACFS configuration or system mount tables (e.g., /etc/fstab) contain multiple conflicting entries for the same mount point, leading to ambiguity.
⚠️
Incomplete Cleanup of Previous Mount
A prior ACFS volume was not fully unmounted or its configuration was not removed, leaving behind residual entries for the mount point.
⚠️
Manual Configuration Errors
Mistakes during manual editing of ACFS or system mount configuration files resulted in unintended duplicate mount point definitions.
⚠️
Cluster Configuration Mismatch
In an Oracle Clusterware environment, ACFS mount point configurations might be inconsistent or unsynchronized across different cluster nodes.
