Patroni's unable to create the PostgreSQL data directory (/mnt/data/patroni) during initialization

Question

This is my patroni.yml file [root@Postgres-1 etc]# cat patroni.yml scope: postgres namespace: /db/ name: postgres-1

this name must be unique for each node to diferentiate them

Ex: postgresql1 for node 1, postgresql2 for node 2 and so on.

restapi: listen: 10.5.0.4:8008 connect_address: 10.5.0.4:8008

I have already created mkdir -p /mnt/data/patroni chown postgres:postgres /mnt/data/patroni chmod 700 /mnt/data/patroni

No files or directory getting created inside /mnt/data/patroni and keep on showing this log on both postgres nodes

Team, please guide me

Note: I tried changing data_dir path but still same issue.
