Do not use NFS as a data path for Elasticsearch. It is not supported and known to be problematic. Also, performance will be very bad.

That being said, if you which to use _another_ type of storage you need to mount a volume in `/use/share/elasticsearch/data` which is the data path used by the Docker image.
