Hi All,

I have an issue with creation of snapshot repository.

```auto
PUT _snapshot/test-repo
{
  "type": "fs",
  "settings": {
    "location": "test_repo"
  }
}

```

The reply was this:

```auto
{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "repository_verification_exception",
        "reason" : "[test-repo] path is not accessible on master node"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "repository_verification_exception",
    "reason" : "[test-repo] path is not accessible on master node",
    "caused_by" : {
      "type" : "i_o_exception",
      "reason" : "Disk quota exceeded"
    }
  },
  "status" : 500
}

```

In the Elasticsearch.yml the following line is there on each nodes:  
path.repo: /data/backup

The filesystem looks like this:

```auto
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 32639224 0 32639224 0% /dev
tmpfs 32659088 0 32659088 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 32659088 141196 32517892 1% /run
tmpfs 32659088 0 32659088 0% /sys/fs/cgroup

/dev/sda1 11625298376 2905961572 8133382964 27% /usr/ssn
tmpfs 6531816 0 6531816 0% /run/user/0
boostfs 270947533824 74784425472 196163108352 28% /data/backup

```

This issue happens since the storage size is extended - before that there were no issues with that.

ES version is 7.16.1.

Thanks,  
Peter
