Hi Guys, I'm using elasticsearch Version "1.4.5" and "lucene\_version" : "4.10.4" on elasticsearch cluster consist of 4 nodes. I want to take anapshot from this cluster, I have configured NFS server and made it available to all nodes, but when I take snapshot I'm recieving the following error and snpashot not completed successfully. Note: the cluster status is green, sometimes I'm getting shard not found from kibana dashboard. any ideas to get rid of this error and make complete successfull snapshot [2018-05-24 12:47:02,680][WARN][snapshots] [MAS-GSDB02-DR] [[logstash-2017.01.17][3]] [smartpass\_es\_repo:prod\_masdar\_logstash-2017.01.17\_2018-05-24] failed to create snapshot org.elasticsearch.index.snapshots.IndexShardSnapshotFailedException: [logstash-2017.01.17][3] Failed to perform snapshot (index files) at org.elasticsearch.index.snapshots.blobstore.BlobStoreIndexShardRepository$SnapshotContext.snapshot(BlobStoreIndexShardRepository.java:503) at org.elasticsearch.index.snapshots.blobstore.BlobStoreIndexShardRepository.snapshot(BlobStoreIndexShardRepository.java:139) at org.elasticsearch.index.snapshots.IndexShardSnapshotAndRestoreService.snapshot(IndexShardSnapshotAndRestoreService.java:86) at org.elasticsearch.snapshots.SnapshotsService$5.run(SnapshotsService.java:817) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /elasticsearch\_snapshot/indices/logstash-2017.01.17/3/\_\_0 (No such file or directory) at java.io.FileOutputStream.open0(Native Method) at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Unknown Source) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at java.io.FileOutputStream.(Unknown Source) at org.elasticsearch.common.blobstore.fs.FsBlobContainer.createOutput(FsBlobContainer.java:85) at org.elasticsearch.index.snapshots.blobstore.BlobStoreIndexShardRepository$SnapshotContext.snapshotFile(BlobStoreIndexShardRepository.java:555) at org.elasticsearch.index.snapshots.blobstore.BlobStoreIndexShardRepository$SnapshotContext.snapshot(BlobStoreIndexShardRepository.java:501) ... 6 more ---

I doubt you will get help as this version is a way tooooooo old. At the very least you should use the latest 1.7 version available which "might" fix the problem. But definitely you should upgrade to 6.2... ---

Given the index names that are reported, it looks like you might potentially have a large number of indices/shards, which might slow down or cause problems with snapshot creation. ---

I don’t know, and it does not help that you are using such an old version. ---
