I cant access the files that are in mounted volume

```auto
elasticsearch | {"type": "server", "timestamp": "2022-08-25T07:52:51,332Z", "level": "ERROR", "component": "o.e.b.ElasticsearchUncaughtExceptionHandler", "cluster.name": "docker-cluster", "node.name": "elasticsearch", "message": "uncaught exception in thread [main]",
elasticsearch | "stacktrace": ["org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.StartupException: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (\"java.io.FilePermission\" \"/usr/share/elasticsearch/cert\" \"read\")",

```

creating new folder was cause of the permission error, instead of mounting folder, I mount files and problem solved.
