Hello,

I see many posts about this error, they all seem to mention external storage, but I don't use any external volumnes.

The error I get is:

Underlying file changed by an external force

I use [docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.8.0](http://docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:7.8.0) images in a statefulset and start two es nodes in a kubernetes environment. None of the volumes are externalized - this is dev system and I don't mind loosing the index when I recreate the POD.

Any idea what could cause this Error? I don't see any k8s event errors or any other issues.

Thank you.
