"error":"FileNotFoundException when exporting #37

Closed Yaskier closed 10 years ago

Yaskier commented 10 years ago

Hi guys, we are trying to use knapsack for our backups (60GB+) but we always have this error:

curl -XPOST localhost:9200/_export {"error":"FileNotFoundException[_all.tar.gz (Permission denied)]","status":500}

We are in the machine via ssh and have tried it in root but no luck, any idea?

Thanks

You should use the path variable to point to a writable directory that can be accessed by the user running Elasticsearch and has enough disk space. E.g. 

curl -XPOST localhost:9200/_export?path=/path/to/my/dir/_all.tar.gz

There is not much use in trying root.
