Hi,  
I'm trying to use network drive for elasticsearch path.data

in my elasticsearch.yml

```
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
path.data: /etc/elasticsearch/Data/elasticsearch/lib/elasticsearch
#
# Path to log files:
#
path.logs: /etc/elasticsearch/Data/elasticsearch/log/elasticsearch
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------

```

my mount option

> [root@localhost elasticsearch]# mount -t cifs [//192.168.0.75/ShareFolder](https://192.168.0.75/ShareFolder) /etc/elasticsearch/Data -o username=Test,password=qlalfqjsgh

when i was start elasticsearch then error like this

> [root@localhost elasticsearch]# systemctl status elasticsearch -l

Don't know what the problem is but just to say that it is not recommended to store your indices on a network drive.
