Open System Services NFS Management and Operations Guide

Recovery
The recommended action depends on the cause of the error:
• If an incorrect object name was specified, correct the object name and retry the SCF START
SERVER command.
• If the SERVER object was configured incorrectly, alter the mount point of the server to another
directory within the existing fileset structure and retry the SCF START SERVER command.
• If more than one server is configured with the same local mount point, you can start only
one of them, so the configuration should be changed.
MNT1 Error 19
No such device. The caller attempted an operation on a nonexistent
device or attempted an illegal operation on a valid device.
Cause
Either an attempt was made to perform an operation on a device that does not exist or the
attempted operation is illegal on the specified device (such as a write operation to a read-only
device.)
Effect
Attempted operation fails.
Recovery
If the device does not exist, correct the device name (that is, specify the name of a device that
does exist) and retry the operation.
If the operation is illegal on the specified device, corrective action is application-dependent.
Either the type of operation must be changed or the operation must be retried on a device on
which the operation is valid.
MNT1 Error 20
Not a directory. The caller specified a nondirectory in a directory
operation.
Cause
The caller attempted a directory operation but did not properly specify a directory. Generally,
this error is caused by an incorrectly specified pathname (for example, a filename appeared in
a pathname where only a directory name is allowed).
Effect
Attempted operation fails.
Recovery
If a filename was specified rather than a directory name, correct the pathname so that a directory
is specified. Otherwise, a logic error in the caller is indicated and must be corrected.
MNT1 Error 62
Too many levels of symbolic links. The pathname specified as the remote
mount point contained too many symbolic links.
Cause
The subsystem encountered more than the maximum allowable number of symbolic links when
attempting to resolve a mount point. Because symbolic links point to other directories (or files)
that can themselves be symbolic links, loops can be inadvertently created. If, when attempting
to resolve a symbolic link to an actual directory, more than the maximum number of symbolic
links are successively encountered, it is assumed that a loop has been encountered and resolution
is discontinued.
Effect
Attempted operation fails.
