Hi All,

This is running ELK 7.7.8 on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS  
I had created a NFS mount on my 3 old node cluster and new 3 node cluster  
I did manage to make a snapshot from old and restore to new cluster.

However, I decided (can't remember why). I wiped out the nfs directory (on the NFS server).

Now I cannot make any snapshot, it complains of missing file.

```auto
PUT /_snapshot/my_backup
{
     "type": "fs",
     "settings": {
          "location": "/data/shared/"
      }
}
POST /_snapshot/my_backup/_verify
    {
  "nodes" : {
    "2geeJiNpQfu7uhLvXM1IcA" : {
      "name" : "elk1"
    },
    "mnyp8rAxRpKZctGkP5-WPA" : {
      "name" : "elk3"
    },
    "EcivYQmTSvWJfA6dQeq5JQ" : {
      "name" : "elk2"
    }
  }
}

PUT /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_1?wait_for_completion=true
{
  "indices": "lawful-*,snmp-inngate-*",
  "ignore_unavailable": false,
  "include_global_state": false,
  "metadata": {
    "taken_by": "michael",
    "taken_because": "backup before upgrading"
  }
}

```

Tried the above with "ignore\_unavailable": true as well.

I keep getting this type of errors.

    "shards" : {

}

```

I've configured the NFS server as follows:

```auto
/shared 10.40.0.0/22(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) 10.60.1.0/24(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)

```

I've mounted on each ES node as follows;

```auto
10.40.3.14:/shared /data/shared nfs defaults 0 0
Which generates:
10.40.3.14:/shared on /data/shared type nfs4 (rw,relatime,vers=4.2,rsize=524288,wsize=524288,namlen=255,hard,proto=tcp,timeo=600,retrans=2,sec=sys,clientaddr=10.40.3.10,local_lock=none,addr=10.40.3.14)

```

So what I'm asking is how to I clean out the snapshots so that it can work again.

The directory of the mounted system is as follows

```auto
 root@elk1:/data/shared# ls -al
total 20
drwxrwxrwx 3 nobody nogroup 135 Jul 7 04:48 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 60 Jul 2 09:32 ..

drwxr-xr-x 3 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4096 Jul 7 04:33 tDrp5NfORf6nNVRv7HSaqQ

```

For one of the subdirectories

```auto
root@elk1:/data/shared# ls -al /data/shared/indices/HdNL8pleSbm-TES4IBc47A/0/
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 elasticsearch elasticsearch 6 Jul 6 04:35 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4096 Jul 7 04:48 ..

```

So the files are actually missing.. I don't know why its not creating them instead..

The file system has a lot of space.

```auto
root@elk1:/data/shared# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev
tmpfs 798M 1.3M 797M 1% /run

10.40.3.14:/shared 1.0T 1.1G 1023G 1% /data/shared

```

I've tried to delete the snapshot and clean out the system

```auto
DELETE /_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_1
{
  "acknowledged" : true
}

I've done cleanup
POST /_snapshot/my_backup/_cleanup
{
  "results" : {
    "deleted_bytes" : 0,
    "deleted_blobs" : 0
  }
}

```

I've even deleted the depository config and recreated it.

```auto
DELETE _snapshot/my_backup?pretty
{
  "acknowledged" : true
}

```

I'm kinda lost...  
Thanks a lot for your advice.

Regards,

Michael

It looks like you deleted some of the files in the snapshot repository, but not all of them, so it's now in an inconsistent state. The simplest fix is to start again:

1. unregister the repository
2. delete the repository contents `/data/shared/*`
3. register the now-empty repository again
