Why does creating a repository fail?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Can you post the output from mount and ls -ld /mounts
/mounts/prod_backup?

/mounts/prod_backup is an NFS share mounted on all my ES nodes.

The only thing I can think of is that file permissions are wrong. But I'm
not sure how to fix that.

On the two nodes not listed in the error, the elasticsearch gid and uid
are different that on the other three nodes. So I can't just chown -R
elasticsearch:elasticsearch.

Do I have to make sure that the uid and gid are the same on all nodes? How
am I supposed to do that when I install from the apt repositories?

Also, log-estools-01 has data.node = false. Why does it still need the
prod_backup mount?

log-estools-01 is on Ubuntu 14.04.

Everything else is Ubuntu 12.04.

Running ES 1.4.4.
