Hi all,
When I navigate to stack management --\> snapshots and repositories I can see the snapshots list.
On that list, there is a one-column that said Failed shards.
Right now most of the snapshots show 1 failed shard in there. And when I check the summary (Kibana GUI) of that snapshot it shows the below error.
INTERNAL\_SERVER\_ERROR: ElasticsearchException[failed to create blob container]; nested: FileSystemException[: No space left on device]
We have separate storage to store these archived indexes and it has more than 150 + GB of available space right now.
Does anyone have an idea about why are we getting this error?
Regards.
