So, Here is the condition.

some of my index are unassigned and the status is red. then i assign it manually using this command

```auto
POST _cluster/reroute
 {
   "commands": [
     {
       "allocate_empty_primary": {
         "index": "project.myindex-2022.02.13",
         "shard": 3,
         "node": "data1",
         "accept_data_loss": "true"
       }
     }
   ]
 }

```

as you see i assign that shard to data1 but the shard allocation process doesn't start. I repeated running the command several times but the shard allocation process is still hasn't started. any suggestion?

FYI Elasticsearch 7.6 is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and you should upgrade ASAP.

It'd be useful if you could share the output from `_cat/recovery?v`.
