I’m having this same issue: https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/issues/2356
However the GitHub issues doesn’t say exactly how to fix it other than “give the directories the right permissions”.
What can I do?
If you’re not running Nomad as root then it is trying to write into directories where it doesn’t have permissions to write. The directory that shows up in the error message in the logs should be writable by the user you’re using to run Nomad.
I’ve been running it as sudo nomad agent -dev. That should be correct, right?
The problem only went away when I did cd /tmp && sudo chown 775 Nomad* server1.
