I made a clean install of elasticsearch and changed the data.path in the yml file like this:
path.data: /media/ssd/elasticsearch_data/
but I'm getting an error every time I restart the service:
Sep 16 11:46:03 hel systemd[1]: Starting Elasticsearch...
Sep 16 11:46:03 hel systemd[1]: Started Elasticsearch.

The log says:

Is there any permission requirement for this folder?
