[ES-1.4.0] Changing linux user ID

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi All,

I encountered a 'Permission Denied' error while using ES Snapshot API to
add a 'FS' repository pointing a NFS shared folder.

My cluster structure is:

  • NFS_MACHINE - user id is 600
  • ES_01 - user ID that runs ES is 1000
  • ES_02 - user ID that runs ES is 600

The issue seems to be that the difference in user IDs between the machines
generated the permission issues.

My question is about ES files across a machine file system, are there any
files outside ES installation folder (except for data/logs/configuration)?

Thanks,
Yarden

Well if you are using a shared FS for snapshot/restore, you need to make sure that each node user can write to this dir.
Try from all machines to write a file when running as es_01 and es_02
May be you could add them to the same group and give write privileges to the group?

Issue was solved by modifying user/group IDs to mactch on all machines.

Thanks for the ideas :slight_smile:
