Dear forum, I have just installed a CrateDB 4.6.4 cluster of 3 nodes and it started successful, after a restart I have this error: ```auto [2021-10-21T09:25:31,173][WARN][o.e.b.ElasticsearchUncaughtExceptionHandler] [crate01] uncaught exception in thread [main] org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.StartupException: org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException: failed to bind service at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.StartupExceptionProxy.(StartupExceptionProxy.java:30) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at io.crate.bootstrap.CrateDB.init(CrateDB.java:162) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at io.crate.bootstrap.CrateDB.execute(CrateDB.java:138) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at org.elasticsearch.cli.EnvironmentAwareCommand.execute(EnvironmentAwareCommand.java:81) ~[crate-server.jar:?] at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.mainWithoutErrorHandling(Command.java:124) ~[crate-cli.jar:?] at org.elasticsearch.cli.Command.main(Command.java:90) ~[crate-cli.jar:?] at io.crate.bootstrap.CrateDB.main(CrateDB.java:91) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at io.crate.bootstrap.CrateDB.main(CrateDB.java:84) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] Caused by: org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchException: failed to bind service at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.(Node.java:651) ~[crate-server.jar:?] at io.crate.node.CrateNode.(CrateNode.java:53) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.BootstrapProxy$1.(BootstrapProxy.java:192) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.BootstrapProxy.setup(BootstrapProxy.java:192) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.BootstrapProxy.init(BootstrapProxy.java:266) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at io.crate.bootstrap.CrateDB.init(CrateDB.java:158) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] ... 6 more Caused by: java.nio.file.AccessDeniedException: /mnt/disk01/nodes/0/_state at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.translateToIOException(UnixException.java:90) ~[?:?] at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:106) ~[?:?] at sun.nio.fs.UnixException.rethrowAsIOException(UnixException.java:111) ~[?:?] at sun.nio.fs.UnixFileSystemProvider.newDirectoryStream(UnixFileSystemProvider.java:439) ~[?:?] at java.nio.file.Files.newDirectoryStream(Files.java:476) ~[?:?] at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.listAll(FSDirectory.java:214) ~[lucene-core-8.8.2.jar:8.8.2 a92a05e195b775b30ca410bc0a26e8e79e7b3bfb - mdrob - 2021-04-06 16:33:27] at org.apache.lucene.store.FSDirectory.listAll(FSDirectory.java:233) ~[lucene-core-8.8.2.jar:8.8.2 a92a05e195b775b30ca410bc0a26e8e79e7b3bfb - mdrob - 2021-04-06 16:33:27] at org.apache.lucene.index.SegmentInfos$FindSegmentsFile.run(SegmentInfos.java:700) ~[lucene-core-8.8.2.jar:8.8.2 a92a05e195b775b30ca410bc0a26e8e79e7b3bfb - mdrob - 2021-04-06 16:33:27] at org.apache.lucene.index.StandardDirectoryReader.open(StandardDirectoryReader.java:81) ~[lucene-core-8.8.2.jar:8.8.2 a92a05e195b775b30ca410bc0a26e8e79e7b3bfb - mdrob - 2021-04-06 16:33:27] at org.apache.lucene.index.DirectoryReader.open(DirectoryReader.java:63) ~[lucene-core-8.8.2.jar:8.8.2 a92a05e195b775b30ca410bc0a26e8e79e7b3bfb - mdrob - 2021-04-06 16:33:27] at org.elasticsearch.gateway.PersistedClusterStateService.nodeMetadata(PersistedClusterStateService.java:266) ~[crate-server.jar:?] at org.elasticsearch.env.NodeEnvironment.loadNodeMetadata(NodeEnvironment.java:416) ~[crate-server.jar:?] at org.elasticsearch.env.NodeEnvironment.(NodeEnvironment.java:329) ~[crate-server.jar:?] at org.elasticsearch.node.Node.(Node.java:270) ~[crate-server.jar:?] at io.crate.node.CrateNode.(CrateNode.java:53) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.BootstrapProxy$1.(BootstrapProxy.java:192) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.BootstrapProxy.setup(BootstrapProxy.java:192) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.BootstrapProxy.init(BootstrapProxy.java:266) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] at io.crate.bootstrap.CrateDB.init(CrateDB.java:158) ~[crate-app.jar:4.6.4] ... 6 more ``` This already happen two times, the first time I thought I did something wrong and I have deleted the whole database disks, but this time I need to understand how to recover the problem without loose the data. What happen here? Regards, Stefano ---

How did you install CrateDB? Does the user that runs CrateDB have sufficient privileges on the directory? ---

Hi, I have installed the DB via RPM. I am on a Centos 7. It seems to me that everything is fine: ```auto [root@crate01 ~]# ls -al /mnt/disk01/nodes/0/_state total 24 d-wxrw--wt. 2 crate crate 121 Oct 21 09:11 . d-wxrw--wt. 3 crate crate 37 Oct 21 09:25 .. --wxrw--wt. 1 crate crate 278 Oct 21 09:11 _7.cfe --wxrw--wt. 1 crate crate 1776 Oct 21 09:11 _7.cfs --wxrw--wt. 1 crate crate 379 Oct 21 09:11 _7.si --wxrw--wt. 1 crate crate 109 Oct 20 11:11 manifest-0.st --wxrw--wt. 1 crate crate 89 Oct 20 11:11 node-0.st --wxrw--wt. 1 crate crate 246 Oct 21 09:11 segments_r --wxrw--wt. 1 crate crate 0 Oct 20 11:11 write.lock ``` Or not?

I got it. The permissions of the directories are wrong, this is due to the Ansible script I have used to configure the DB. Thanks, S.
