Getting repository verification exception while creating HDFS snapshot repository

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
5

Hi @costin, thanks for the reply. I'm confident that there isn't any snapshot operation in progress, because I couldn't create any repository successfully. To check anyway, I hit each repository's /_snapshot/<repo_name/_status API, and they all return with this JSON:

{
  "snapshots": []
}

My nodes don't find the binary seccomp when I try to execute it, so I don't seem to have that installed. Anything particular to look for in ES logs? (The search "seccomp" doesn't give any results.)

Any idea on how do I check if ES can invoke `chmod`? I tried this: [root@master2 elasticsearch]# su elasticsearch This account is currently not available. On trying this with normal user it prompts me for a password, but I haven't explicitly configured any password for the elasticsearch linux user.

Plus, chmod does have the execute permissions for all users:

[root@master2 elasticsearch]# ll /bin/chmod
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 58544 Sep 15  2015 /bin/chmod

The user elasticsearch can execute chmod; I did the following to check that:

[root@master2 elasticsearch]# chsh -s /bin/bash elasticsearch
Changing shell for elasticsearch.
Shell changed.
[root@dz-esds-master2 elasticsearch]# su elasticsearch
bash-4.2$ touch /tmp/thing
bash-4.2$ chmod 777 /tmp/thing
