Description

If you see Windows event collection with Universal Collector fail with “parent directory already mounted” and with “exit code 1” when there is already a file pull created for the parent directory then there is a simple solution.

Example:

File pull1 - //windowsserver/share

File pull2 - //windowsserver/share/logs

The mount point for file pull2 errors with exit code 1 because it is the sub-directory of file pull1. 

 

Issue/Introduction

This article explains the root cause and how to resolve the error “parent directory already mounted” with Universal Collector.

Resolution

The solution requires moving the sub-directory from under the parent directory. CIFS file pulls do not support parent and sub-directories to be mounted simultaneously.
