[Thincrust-devel] EBS Support on thincrust EC2 ami's not working..

[Jon Steer]

the difference I used xfs instead of ext3 following the Amazon directions

http://developer.amazonwebservices.com/connect/entry.jspa?categoryID=100&externalID=1663
.
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..
