Hi,

Recently, I found disk is full and on the same disk I was running  
ElasticSearch which cause me disk space exception.

After that I made enough disk space and restarted the ElasticSearch.

Problem:  
It start without any exception but I found no index recovered. All  
the index I have created are now lost.

Please suggest, what should I do and where is the problem?

Thanks,

Pulkit Agrawal
