Hi, As my elasticsearch stop frequently, I decide to reinstall it on my debian jessie. I did the following commands : sudo apt-get --purge autoremove elasticsearch sudo rm -rf /var/lib/elasticsearch/ sudo rm -rf /etc/elasticsearch wget -qO - [https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch](https://artifacts.elastic.co/GPG-KEY-elasticsearch) | sudo apt-key add - sudo apt update && sudo apt install elasticsearch sudo update-rc.d elasticsearch defaults 95 10 I tried also sudo -i service elasticsearch start However at the end of installation, my elasticsearch service won't start and I don't know why : The following is the status log of my Elasticsearch : systemctl status elasticsearch ● elasticsearch.service - Elasticsearch Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/elasticsearch.service; disabled) Active: failed (Result: signal) since mar. 2017-10-24 10:33:41 CEST; 2min 38s ago Docs: [http://www.elastic.co](http://www.elastic.co) Process: 24344 ExecStart=/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch -p ${PID\_DIR}/elasticsearch.pid --quiet -Edefault.path.logs=${LOG\_DIR} -Edefault.path.data=${DATA\_DIR} -Edefault.path.conf=${CONF\_DIR} (code=killed, signal=KILL) Process: 24341 ExecStartPre=/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-systemd-pre-exec (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 24344 (code=killed, signal=KILL) oct. 24 10:33:37 [vps75137.ovh.net](http://vps75137.ovh.net) systemd[1]: Started Elasticsearch. oct. 24 10:33:41 [vps75137.ovh.net](http://vps75137.ovh.net) systemd[1]: elasticsearch.service: main process exited, code=killed, status=9/KILL oct. 24 10:33:41 [vps75137.ovh.net](http://vps75137.ovh.net) systemd[1]: Unit elasticsearch.service entered failed state.

> [@Nos2016](#): > > Failed to reset devices.list on /system.slice/nfs-common.service: No such file or directory First of all, I discovered in /etc/sysctl.d/99-sysctl.conf that there was a mistake on the following lines: #kernel.printk = 3 4 1 3 ##############################################################3 You can see a "3" at the end of comment's line. You need to remove it. After that, I reinstall Elasticsearch. However, same result for Elasticsearch 😢.
