# E2000 — Volume operation rejected (E_VOLUME_NAME_DUPLICATE)

> Volume operation rejected (E_VOLUME_NAME_DUPLICATE)

# E2000 — Volume operation rejected (E\_VOLUME\_NAME\_DUPLICATE)

| Property | Value |
| - | - |
| **Code** | `2000` |
| **Slug** | `E2000` |
| **Category** | `storage` (Storage) |
| **CIP** | CIP-9 |

## What happened

Volume operation rejected (E\_VOLUME\_NAME\_DUPLICATE): \{detail}.

This is the receipt's `what` text, produced by the node's `ExecutionError::RasVolume`. Placeholders in braces are filled from the failing transaction.

## Why it happened

The node rejected the operation with `E2000` (category `storage`, Storage). The receipt's `why` field carries the specific cause and `context` carries structured details, such as the values that filled the placeholders above.

The normative rule is in CIP-9.

## How to fix

A volume with this (owner, name) already exists. Pick a different volume name or delete the existing volume first.

## Receipt example

```json theme={null}
{
  "code": 2000,
  "slug": "E2000",
  "category": "storage",
  "what": "volume operation rejected (E_VOLUME_NAME_DUPLICATE): {detail}",
  "fix": "A volume with this (owner, name) already exists. Pick a different volume name or delete the existing volume first.",
  "docs_url": "https://docs.cowboy.inc/errors/E2000"
}
