In related issue: Shared File System Repository The shared file system repository ("type": "fs") is using shared file system to store snapshot. The path specified in the location parameter should point to the same location in the shared filesystem and be accessible on all data and master nodes. May be we should add an option to \_snapshot endpoint which could be preference=local for example which will execute the snapshot only on the local node which get the request. Need to talk with Igor about it though to see if it makes sense or is doable. -- David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 6 mars 2014 à 08:43, David Pilato [david@pilato.fr](mailto:david@pilato.fr) a écrit : Actually, I think that your backup file system needs to be shared on all nodes because you don't know in advance which nodes will actually perform the snapshot.

Thanks David, pl do share how your discussion with Igor goes. I agree that a "preference=local" flag will be useful since having a shared file system is just additional setup to be done and if there is any way to avoid it, things would get simpler. -Amit.

We just talked about it. Right now, master node needs to save some metadata information in FS and each node which has a primary shard will copy data directly to the filesystem. That's the reason each master node and data node needs to have access to the file system. One option could be in the future to copy all data over the wire to master node and the stream data to FS. So only master node will need to have access to the FS repository. But it's not here yet and we need to think about it as it can come with some implications. May be a SSH repository could be easier in that case and won't overload master node with tons of network data...

I agree that a "preference=local" flag will be useful since having a shared file system is just additional setup to be done and if there is any way to avoid it, things would get simpler. -Amit.

The path specified in the location parameter should point to the same location in the shared filesystem and be accessible on all data and master nodes. May be we should add an option to \_snapshot endpoint which could be preference=local for example which will execute the snapshot only on the local node which get the request.
