Hi,

I don't know why my cluster stoped working when I change my data.path.

PS : I kept the rights when I copied the file /var/lib/elasticsearch

logs node 1 :

```auto
[WARN][o.e.g.DanglingIndicesState] [network-1] [[.kibana/VVs4bcERSKeSgufbSY1bwA]] can not be imported as a dangling index, as index with same name already exists in cluster metadata

```

logs node 2 :

```auto

[2018-07-17T00:59:05,078][INFO][o.e.x.m.a.TransportDeleteExpiredDataAction] [network-2] Deleting expired data

```
