Elasticsearch 7.3.0 - AccessDeniedException: /usr/share/elasticsearch/data/nodes

Hello,

I deployed elasticsearch on IBM IKS cluster but I see some java exception. Please let me know whether this is something with a specific version or different. The same version works fine on GKE.

can you share the configuration file, including the different file paths you have configured in the yaml file?

Hi @spinscale

The issue is that IBM IKS doesn't allow non-root user to mount the volume. (IBM Cloud Docs)

In the following helm chart elasticsearch 8.5.1 · elastic/elastic

there is no such section

chown elasticsearch:elasticsearch /usr/share/elasticsearch/data

Better example (but a bit more cumbersome) is https://github.com/helm/charts/blob/a1050da95e0dcb70151adb0376bc1cf9d785485c/stable/elasticsearch/templates/master-statefulset.yaml#L106

I wonder if anyone could fix

chown

for elasticsearch 8.5.1 · elastic/elastic

Can you please open an issue at https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts describing your issue - thanks a lot!
