Using same commands since 5.0 without any issues. ---

You've run into a variation of this Elasticsearch issue: [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/28026](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/28026) You should be able to fix it up by updating the seetings to set `archived.*` to `null`. ---

Thanks for your reply. ```auto curl -XPUT -H "Content-Type: application/json" -s localhost:9200/_cluster/settings -d '{"transient": { "archived.indices.*":null } }' ``` Doesn't fix the issue. I btw didn't upgrade from 5.x to 6: I did a clean system install instead (6.0.1) and re-created the dataset from scratch. And I am not runnng in cluster mode. Any other suggestions? Thanks! ---
