Hi Guys, Any idea , how to balanced any shard on multiple path configuration in Elasticsearch? If path 1 already 95%, it cause failed in elasticsearch. No more ingestion on path 2. (Error : forbidden-12-index-read-only-allow-delete-api)

elasticsearch.yml :  
path:  
data:  
- /mnt/elasticsearch\_1  
- /mnt/elasticsearch\_2

Any ideas whats going on?

Thanks.
