Root Cause

Volume mount source path contains spaces or special characters that are not properly escaped or quoted, causing Docker to misinterpret the path.

generic

中文

卷挂载源路径包含空格或特殊字符，未正确转义或引用，导致Docker误解路径。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Use double quotes around the entire mount argument: docker run -v "/home/user/My Project:/data" my_image 
    Use double quotes around the entire mount argument: docker run -v "/home/user/My Project:/data" my_image
  2. 95% success Rename the source directory to remove spaces: mv "/home/user/My Project" /home/user/MyProject 
    Rename the source directory to remove spaces: mv "/home/user/My Project" /home/user/MyProject

中文步骤

  1. 在挂载参数周围使用双引号：docker run -v "/home/user/My Project:/data" my_image
  2. 重命名源目录以移除空格：mv "/home/user/My Project" /home/user/MyProject

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 60% fail

    Adding backslashes before spaces (e.g., /home/user/My\ Project) doesn't work because Docker interprets them literally in the path string.

  2. 70% fail

    Using single quotes in the command (e.g., -v '/home/user/My Project:/data') fails because Docker's CLI parser strips quotes before passing to daemon.
