**Versions** (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser):  
2.8 for opensearch and dashboard

**Describe the issue** :  
I am trying to make the opensearch logs available on the node for fluentbit as input, I added that to helm values but seems failing to start the opensearch cluster.

**Configuration** :

```auto
extraVolumes:
  - name: opensearch-logs
    hostPath:
      path: /var/log/opensearch/logs
      type: ''
extraVolumeMounts: 
  - name: opensearch-logs
    mountPath: /usr/share/opensearch/logs

```

**Relevant Logs or Screenshots** :  
when tail the logs from pod of opensearch, I got the following:

```auto
