Hi,

Using ES 6.8.6 I'm trying to set up a snapshot repository.  
The type is `fs` and the underlying filesystem is `ceph`.  
The UID/GID of elasticsearch is the same on all nodes.  
When issuing the standard API call to create a snapshot repo, I get the following error message on the client:

```auto
{
    "error": {
        "caused_by": {
            "reason": "Operation not permitted",
            "type": "i_o_exception"
        },
        "reason": "[backup] path is not accessible on master node",
        "root_cause": [
            {
                "reason": "[backup] path is not accessible on master node",
                "type": "repository_verification_exception"
            }
        ],
        "type": "repository_verification_exception"
    },
    "status": 500
}

```

On the ES node's log I see:

```auto
[backup] path is not accessible on master node

```

It turns out, there was a misconfiguration in the Ceph filesystem.  
All is well, you can return to a normal activity.
