Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).

- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
create index mount_user_storage
on nextclouddev.oc_mounts (storage_id, user_id);
create index mounts_storage_index
on nextclouddev.oc_mounts (storage_id);
The duplicate index makes all INSERT and DELETE queries more expensive.
Should we have UPDATEs for storage_id, those are more expensive too.

Research direction
Start by locating the Nextcloud database schema or migration definitions for oc_mounts and the mount_user_storage and mounts_storage_index indexes. Compare the indexes created by a fresh installation, then verify that the redundant single-column index is removed without losing required lookup coverage.
