Hello, quick setup specs: 2 client instances 3 master instances 3 data instances S3 Snapshots work great. EFS mounted to /backups on all instances using availability zone-specific IPs so that we also have a "local" copy. Current permissions to the mount point: 755 elasticsearch:root Using kopf to register snapshot repos, bash script to run snapshots. All instances have the ability to read/write to/from EFS mount. When the snapshot repo creation is attempted, it is reflected on the mount. As in, the correct directories are created, etc. Eg.: `drwxr-xr-x 2 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4096 Jan 17 11:14 30day` The error I get upon hitting the 'Create' icon is: ``` [2017-01-17 11:14:54] Error executing request: [2017-01-17 11:14:54] {"method":"POST","transformRequest":[null],"transformResponse":[null],"url":"http://client01.domain.com:9200/_snapshot/short_term","data":"{\"type\":\"fs\",\"settings\":{\"location\":\"30day\"}}","params":{},"headers":{"Accept":"application/json, text/plain, */*","Content-Type":"application/json;charset=utf-8"}} [2017-01-17 11:14:54] REST API output: [2017-01-17 11:14:54] {"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"repository_verification_exception","reason":"[short_term] [88jdeo2NTbiRgSKAOG1-xQ, 'RemoteTransportException[[node03][172.16.1.84:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[short_term] missing];'], [9c7rm-7ZSdGwqNLRXkvf7w, 'RemoteTransportException[[node02][172.16.1.158:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[short_term] missing];'], [MHQfT5F-T0uhjeuqRmArFQ, 'RemoteTransportException[[node01][172.16.1.160:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[short_term] missing];']]"}],"type":"repository_verification_exception","reason":"[short_term] [88jdeo2NTbiRgSKAOG1-xQ, 'RemoteTransportException[[node03][172.16.1.84:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[short_term] missing];'], [9c7rm-7ZSdGwqNLRXkvf7w, 'RemoteTransportException[[node02][172.16.1.158:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[short_term] missing];'], [MHQfT5F-T0uhjeuqRmArFQ, 'RemoteTransportException[[node01][172.16.1.160:9300][internal:admin/repository/verify]]; nested: RepositoryMissingException[[short_term] missing];']]"},"status":500} ``` Any light shed on this would be greatly appreciated.

Verb should be PUT not POST I think: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html#\_repositories](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html#_repositories) ---
