Hi all, I have been struggling to put together a backup solution for my ES cluster.
As far as I understand the documentation at http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-snapshots.html I can't understand why the following might be failing: I have exported an NFS filesystem to both nodes of my 2-node ES cluster, mounted as /srv/backup. I created the elastic search user on the NFS server too and then [root@back01 ~]# ls -ld /srv/backup/es_backup drwxrwx---. 3 elasticsearch elasticsearch 4096 Sep 29 18:37 /srv/backup/es_backup Start with a clean filesystem: [root@logdata01 ~]# rm -rf /srv/backup/* Register the backup area: [root@logdata01 ~]# curl -s -XPUT http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/backup -d '{ "type": "fs", "settings": { "location": "/srv/backup" } }' {"acknowledged":true} Create a snapshot: [root@logdata01 ~]# curl -XPUT "localhost:9200/_snapshot/backup/tcom_snapshot?wait_for_completion=true&pretty" I then get failures on various shards https://gist.github.com/alexharv074/b4c7d35028c425f70f20 Any help on how I could get this cluster into a sane state that can be backed up greatly appreciated.
