Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble starting my `elasticsearch` .

This is what `journal -xe` command's output.

```auto
-- Subject: Unit elasticsearch.service has begun start-up
-- Defined-By: systemd
-- Support: http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
--
-- Unit elasticsearch.service has begun starting up.

-- The result is failed.

lines 2053-2086/2086 (END)

```

I've tried run `elasticsearch` with `root` user and other non-root user. But the results are the same.

Any chance i fix this issue ?

Thanks in advance

What does your Elasticsearch log show?
