Warning in log after index move

Hello

I've moved some indexes to a new path, everything works fine.

In the splunkd.log I see a Warning now from one of the indexes:

WARN  DatabaseDirectoryManager - Unable to find a directory for db id=perfmon~56~EB58ECE2-6770-43E7-988E-1CC4959EDC6F with dir_name=hot_v1_56

The directory is there and I don't understand what's the problem and how to fix it/get rid of this Warning.

I see the Warning only on one Index.

Any suggestions?

Thx in advance!

What OS are you using?
Are the Permissions right?

I use Windows OS.

For testing I gave Fullcontrol to Everyone, but the Warning still appears.

Edit: OK, it was a permission problem, thank you!
