Too many levels of remote in path

opwnetapp — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:27:16 GMT

I recently tried to modify a NFS export through OnCommand System Manager and I got the error:

Data ONTAP API Failed :Modify failed with error: Too many levels of remote in path (Error: 13114)

This is an operation I have done many times without any problems. But I can't find a reason as to why this error is occuring now.

Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks

Bob

I also tried to modify the export manually. Below is a bit of my /etc/exports file:

#Auto-generated by setup Mon Sep 15 15:16:44 IST 2008
/vol/vol0   -sec=sys,rw,root=10.200.200.15,nosuid
/vol/repository   -actual=/vol/repository/qtree,sec=sys,rw,anon=0
/vol/repository/isos   -actual=/vol/repository/qtree/isos ,sec=sys,rw,root=10.200.100.204:10.200.100.203:10.200.100.202:10.200.100.201:10.201.100.206:10.201.100.205:10.201.100.204:10.201.100.203:10.201.100.202:10.201.100.201,nosuid
/vol/repository/pcimages   -actual=/vol/repository/qtree/pcimages,sec=sys,rw,anon=0

And this is what happens when I try to reload the exports file:

filer01> exportfs -a
exportfs [Line 4]: actual path is already used as an actual path, /vol/repository/isos not exported
