Repository creation fails due to permissions?

[tjloftin]

We get an error saying "possible permissions" as the reason....where can we look to see exaclty why it fails?

Thanks!

Check the permissions on the mount point with a ll <mountpoint> as well as the mount permissions without a mount. There should be a (rw) next to the filesystem used for repos. /var/log/messages as well as /var/log/elasticsearch/<cluster_id>.log may also have some info. Run:

tail -f /var/log/messages
tail -f /var/log/elasticsearch/<cluster_id>.log

while trying to add the repo and note anything logged at this time.
