I am on AWS EKS 1.24 using EFS PVC.

```auto
      initContainers:
        - name: fix-volume-mount-permission
          image: busybox
          command: ["sh", "-c", "chown -R 1000:0 /usr/share/elasticsearch/data"]
          volumeMounts:
            - name: elasticsearch-master-pvc
              mountPath: /usr/share/elasticsearch/data

```

Error:

```auto
chown: /usr/share/elasticsearch/data: Operation not permitted

```
