Hi,

I have an elasticsearch node that ran out of disk space (which I have  
resolved), but now all shards are unassigned.

I've tried assigned a shard, but am running into ElasticSearchIllegalArgumentException[[allocate]  
allocation of [logstash-2013.07.03][0] on node  
[][9mn99IiWR8Gc5tjSPvtxlA][inet[202.60.69.224/202.60.69.224:9300]]{max\_local\_storage\_nodes=1}  
is not allowed, reason: [NO()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()][YES()]]

The details of the request and full error are at

> There are more than three files. show original

Thanks,  
Alan
