<p>I started 3 pod and each pod have it's own data folder(mount by 3 PV and 3 PVC).It is impossible to make multi node read and write one data folder.So how could this happen, should I change the NFS folder permission?</p>

Dolphin
<p>As per this <a href="https://github.com/elastic/helm-charts/issues/359" rel="nofollow noreferrer">issue</a> running Elasticsearch using NFS storage is not officially supported, as there are known issues with NFS not supporting file locking, performance of operations, etc. But see this <a href="https://www.frakkingsweet.com/elasticsearch-nfs-and-locking-issues/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">guide</a> if it helps you.</p>
