Snapshots are failing

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

After a network outage, the elasticsearch snapshot is failing. After I restored the connection to the NAS I am getting errors when I try to take a snapshot.

The error is access_denied_exception

Here is the command I run to verify the snapshots and the error I get

curl -X POST "192.168.1.8:9200/_snapshot/DM_backup/_verify"

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"exception","reason":"failed to create blob container"}],"type":"exception","reason":"failed to create blob container","caused_by":{"type":"access_denied_exception","reason":"/mnt/nasbackup/dm-logserver/NAS_backup_location/tests-Ly03ASkJR8WkWUrA4UAflg"}},"status":500}

I also tried to delete the oldest snapshot.

sudo curl -X DELETE "10.134.90.8:9200/_snapshot/DM_backup/snapshot_5?pretty"
Output from trying to delete the a snapshot

{
  "error" : {
    "root_cause" : [
      {
        "type" : "access_denied_exception",
        "reason" : "/mnt/nasbackup/dm-logserver/NAS_backup_location/pending-index-47-TiO4j11eTYChkZ0iw8MLHw"
      }
    ],
    "type" : "access_denied_exception",
    "reason" : "/mnt/nasbackup/dm-logserver/NAS_backup_location/pending-index-47-TiO4j11eTYChkZ0iw8MLHw"
  },
  "status" : 500
}

The snapshot is a NAS which is mounted

mount.cifs -v //192.168.2.203/public /mnt/nasbackup -o vers=1.0,rw,username=user1,password=*******

I have tried to change ownership to 777 as test. although the command is successful, the permissions don't change.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Have you tried remounting the FS?

Yes, I have tried that already. FYI, I can create a text file as root.

The files in the repository appear to be owned by root and apparently cannot be modified by other users. You need to adjust something so that they become writable by the user as which Elasticsearch is running (which is not root). Unfortunately I've no idea what that "something" is, it will depend on how your NAS is configured and how it's mounted.

Thank you. This is what I thought, but I wanted to make sure.

How I am mounting is show in the post if that helps.
