Hello, We are deploying ElasticSearch for an exciting project at a University. It has gone well with just a couple of errors. One of the errors has to do with the gateway that is stored on a an NFS file server. [WARN] [Professor Power] [system][0] failed to obtain snapshot lock, ignoring snapshot org.elasticsearch.ElasticSearchIllegalStateException: failed to obtain snapshot lock [NativeFSLock@/export/home/apps/hbs/local/localhost/WEB- INF/data/elastic/gateway/entermediaprod/indices/system/0/ snapshot.lock] at org.elasticsearch.index.gateway.fs.FsIndexShardGateway.obtainSnapshotLock(FsIndexShardGateway.java: 65) at org.elasticsearch.index.gateway.IndexShardGatewayService.snapshot(IndexShardGatewayService.java: 258) at org.elasticsearch.index.gateway.IndexShardGatewayService $SnapshotRunnable.run(IndexShardGatewayService.java:365) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor $Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor $Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) ---

Looks like there is a possible solution: gateway.fs.snapshot\_lock = false Now we will just need to keep an eye out for split brain condition.

Why are you using NFS gateway? I recommend using the (default) local gateway.
