Create snapshot failed

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

I am trying to create a repo with the api, I have setup NFS mounts on the hosts in my cluster. When using this command " curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/es-backup1' -d '{
"type": "fs",
"settings": {
"location": "/mnt/es-backup1",
"compress": true
}
}' "

i get the following error " nested: RepositoryVerificationException[[es-backup1] store location [/mnt/es-backup1] is not accessible on the node [{Host number 2 in cluster ( not showing actual hostname)}{ "

Any idea what causes this?

Is this dir accessible from all hosts? With the same user?

yes, so there was an issue with the curl command. I am now getting that Repo doesnt exist but it does when I run a curl against my ES instance.

" ERROR Repository /mnt/es-backup1 not found.
