Not able to start elasticsearch version 6.2.4

Hi Team,

Because of some other issue, the disk space on my server reached full.
And I got below error on elasticsearch.log:

[2018-06-27T17:37:15,983][WARN ][o.e.c.r.a.DiskThresholdMonitor] [l49aWt5] flood stage disk watermark [5gb] exceeded on [l49aWt56RrWuszAP0tiU7w][l49aWt5][/var/lib/elasticsearch/nodes/0] free: 3.5gb[23.4%], all indices on this node will marked read-only

Now, today I cleaned up and increased disk space with the help of my network team.
I am now unable to restart elasticsearch now.
It is giving below error in gc.log.0.current:

When I start elasticsearch service, it goes down with below error:

Please help me to resolve this issue.

What does the actual Elasticsearch log show?

Hi Mark,

The actual elasticsearch.log file is not updated. Last log written was on 27th Oct.
I changed log level also but did not work.
So I pasted status log from console.
