Hello all ,

im using elasticsearch 1.3.4 with 5 data nodes + 3 masters  
trying to do snapshot to one of my indices

snapshot partially succeeded.  
i get this output:  
"failures": [

],  
"shards": {  
"total": 60,  
"failed": 13,  
"successful": 47  
}  
}  
]  
i can see that the failures occur on 2 of the data nodes  
any idea why ?  
btw , its not permission issue

thanks a lot
