Elasticsearch throws ElasticsearchIllegalStateException on boot (time based instance)

[ibussieres]

[2015-01-26 19:15:34,624][ERROR][bootstrap                ] {1.3.5}: Initialization Failed ...
- ElasticsearchIllegalStateException[Failed to obtain node lock, is the following location writable?:     [/mnt/elasticsearch-data/elasticsearch-demo]]
    IOException[failed to obtain lock on /mnt/elasticsearch-data/elasticsearch-demo/nodes/0]
        IOException[Cannot create directory: /mnt/elasticsearch-data/elasticsearch-demo/nodes/0]

Then, going ahead and typing sudo service elasticsearch start over ssh starts the service correctly, but I'm looking for something more automatic, of course.
