Error migrating elastic search from 7.5.0 to 7.6.0

Elastic Orchestration Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes (ECK)

Hello,

when updating my elasticsearch cluster from 7.5.0 to 7.6.0, the new pods do not start due to a file permission issue:

ERROR: File ..data/elastic-internal-probe (target of symlink /mnt/elastic-internal/probe-user/elastic-internal-probe from PROBE_PASSWORD_FILE) must have file permissions 400 or 600, but actually has: 644

I have other deployments that do not have that issue, any idea how to fix this?

For those who encounter the same issue, I had to edit the elastic search statefulset and set the defaultMode to 384 (was 420) in volume "elastic-internal-probe-user" (related to secret elastic-es-internal-users) to fix the issue.

Thanks for raising this issue and posting a workaround @Benoit_V.

I think this should have been fixed in ECK 1.0.0 with https://github.com/elastic/cloud-on-k8s/pull/2180. Which version of ECK are you using?
