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)?

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.
