Volume Limit Reached

Volume Limit Reached

0x8007000e

or "too many mounted volumes" (in whichever language your Windows is set to). The WSLC session has run out of mount slots.

The hint wip prints

The WSLC session has reached its mounted-volume limit.

Stop any containers you no longer need, then restart the session:

  wslc container list
  wslc container stop <container-name>
  wslc system session terminate

Then retry the command.

Triggered by output containing 0x8007000e, "too many mounted volumes", or its Japanese equivalent.

Why it happens

Every bind mount and named volume attached to a running container consumes a slot in the WSLC session, and the session has a fixed ceiling. Slots aren't always released promptly when a container stops, so they accumulate over a long working session — especially with:

• several projects up at once, each with a handful of volumes
• sync: configured, which adds two mounts per container (read-only source + named volume)
• repeated wip run invocations that each attach the full volume set
• containers left running from a previous project

Fix

1. See what's running:

wslc container list

2. Stop what you don't need:

wip down                        # this project
wslc container stop <name>      # anything else

3. Restart the session — this is the step that actually reclaims the slots:

wslc system session terminate

4. Retry:

wip up -d

Terminating the session stops every WSLC container on the machine, not just yours. Check with other people if you share it.

Reducing pressure

Trim your volume list. Every entry in volumes: costs a slot on every container that declares it. Consolidate where you can.

Don't declare volumes on sidecars that don't need them. A Postgres container needs its data volume; it doesn't need your source tree.

Tear down projects you're not using, rather than leaving three stacks up all day:

cd ~/project-a && wip down

With sync:, drop the now-redundant bind mount. wip already replaces .:/app with the read-only mount plus the volume — but any other mount of the same tree you declared by hand is extra. Check wip config.

Prefer sync.mode: exec over run where you can. A throwaway container per mirror attaches the mount set each time; exec'ing into the existing one doesn't. See Sync Modes.
