Hi I've a 5 node cluster ( all master and data). I took a snaphot with 9GB worth of data. I had to restart all the nodes due to a few issues. I'm now trying to restore data from that snapshot after restarting all nodes but the snapshots are not listed in the curl command although I see the physical files on the file server. Note: At the time of snapshot, node1 was the elected master. After restarting, Node 3 is the elected master. _Before restarting the nodes:_ curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/\_all?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/_all?pretty)' { "device\_bkp" : { "type" : "fs", "settings" : { "compress" : "true", "location" : "/var/lib/elasticsearch/backups/device\_bkp" } } } curl -XGET "localhost:9200/\_snapshot/device\_bkp/\_all?pretty" { "snapshots" : [ { "snapshot" : "snapshot\_9g", "indices" : ["device"], "state" : "SUCCESS", "start\_time" : "2014-04-28T15:37:17.112Z", "start\_time\_in\_millis" : 1398699437112, "end\_time" : "2014-04-28T15:39:05.964Z", "end\_time\_in\_millis" : 1398699545964, "duration\_in\_millis" : 108852, "failures" : [], "shards" : { "total" : 5, "failed" : 0, "successful" : 5 } } ] } _After restarting the nodes :_ curl -XGET '[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/\_all?pretty](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/_all?pretty)' { "device\_bkp" : { "type" : "fs", "settings" : { "compress" : "true", "location" : "/var/lib/elasticsearch/backups/device\_bkp" } } } curl -XGET "localhost:9200/\_snapshot/device\_bkp/\_all?pretty" { "snapshots" : [] } As you can see above, the snapshots are not listed in the second curl command. I then restarted the nodes until node1 becomes the elected master and the snapshots are recognized. Unless Node 1 becomes the elected master, the snapshots are not recognized. Is this expected? Am I missing something here? Thanks, Hasitha,. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

Hey, did you make sure, that every node has access to that directory specified in the repository settings. This has to be a network share, where every node in your running cluster is allowed to write to. --Alex On Mon, Apr 28, 2014 at 6:03 PM, Hasitha [hasitha.rg@gmail.com](mailto:hasitha.rg@gmail.com) wrote: > Hi > > I've a 5 node cluster ( all master and data).
