When you attempt to attach an exported or detached volume with an ampersand (&) in the volume name, you may receive the following error message:

Attaching volume failed. [7522]

The volume has only been partially attached. You should attempt to delete its folder as soon as possible.

Your repository's error.log file may also contain entries similar to the following:

XML Parsing error C00CE5xx at line 3 column x : various parsing errors
Import volume failed: Error parsing LFVol.xml
[7522] Volume attach failed. Unable to create needed templates
[7522] Volume attach failed

The ampersand (&) character is a reserved character in XML. When exporting or detaching a volume with a name that contains an ampersand character, Laserfiche does not correctly account for this. This results in an invalid XML file.

Rename the original volume so that there is no ampersand character in the name and re-export the volume.

Manually modify the exported volume's LFVol.xml and LFVolDefs.xml file to remove the ampersand character from the LaserFicheVolume tag's name attribute.
