the difference I used xfs instead of ext3 following the Amazon directions <a href="http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?categoryID=100&externalID=1663">http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?categoryID=100&externalID=1663</a> . create a 4GB volume in Elastic fox on /dev/sdl Launch the thincrust f9 ami from elasticfox on a minimal instance attach the ami to the voume with Elasticfox - yum check-update - yum -y update fedora-release - yum check-update - mkfs.xfs /dev/sdl - add sdl to fstab - mkdir /vol - mount /vol - df -h crashed the AMI after this, the ami won't reboot either. I had made an assumption (bad I guess) that Amazon required XFS.. jon <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 10:02 AM, Bryan Kearney <<a href="mailto:bkearney@redhat.com">bkearney@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> <div class="Ih2E3d">Bryan Kearney wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> See below: Jon Steer wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I was pretty psyched when I tripped across the thincrust AMI's.

What steps did you use. I did the followng: - Created a volume from ElasticFox - Launched an Thincrust-F9 instance. - Attached it to a running instance on device /dev/sdb - did mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb - mount -f ext3 /dev/sdb /mnt2 And I could access it. from the images. i could then unmount it and re-mount it on another Thincrust-F9 and a Thincrust-F8 machine.<div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"> -- bk _______________________________________________ Thincrust-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Thincrust-devel@redhat.com" target="_blank">Thincrust-devel@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/thincrust-devel" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/thincrust-devel</a> </div></div></blockquote></div> -- "Don't stand still, if you see me running down the road, 'cause there is trouble right behind me".
