Hi Everyone, For backup directory used a mounted directory from other machine using sshfs. For that directory changed the owner and group to "elasticsearch". When iam trying to create a snapshot getting below error. {"error":"SnapshotCreationException[[backup:snapshot\_6] failed to create snapshot]; nested: FileNotFoundException[/data/backup\_es/snapshot-snapshot\_6 (Permission denied)]; ","status":500} Any idea why iam getting this error or how can i use the mounted directory as a backup space? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
