Hello Looking to build CentOS based micro EC2 instance bootable from Amazon EBS. Want that the image be minimal, so that I can add only the rpms I want. Despite looking could not find a way to import a CentOS image from scratch or an existing minimal CentOS image that is bootable from EBS. My server must must persist, as I cannot handle issues with a dynamic server, so I want to use a server

Is it possible, using puppet, to configure an EC2 instance so that when it boots it attaches & mounts an EBS volume? If so, what steps would one take to achieve this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

Greetings! I''d appreciate hearing from anybody who''s had experience with any of this. I''ve got a Rails app that currently deployed on EC2 with MySQL and am readying to move from a dev / prototype model to a full-scale production model. Right now I''ve got a single MySQL instance.

Hey all, Ok, so I've been having some trouble for a while with an EC2 instance running CentOS 5.11 with a disk volume reporting 100% usage. Root is on an EBS volume. So I've tried the whole 'du -sk | sort -nr | head -10' routine all around this volume getting rid of files. At first I was getting rid of about 50MB of files. Yet the volume remains at 100% capacity. Thinking

Hi, I am trying to copy the latest CentOS image to my own AWS account so that I can enable EBS volume encryption. It currently looks like the option when sharing the image is not enabled to allow direct copying of the snapshots, and I am wondering if this could be looked at? I can start an instance with this AMI, then create a new snapshot for the purpose of enabling EBS volume encryption, but

Hey guys, Thanks for this response. I just wanted to get back to you to let you know how I was able to resolve this. And yeah I think it's more informative to use df -m or df -k, so I'll try to stick to that from now on. Especially when posting to the lists. But I took a look around on the disk and saw that the /var/ww and /usr/local directories were the biggest. So I just solved this

I want to import my zpool''s from FreeBSD 8.0 in OpenSolaris 2009.06. After reading the few posts (links below) I was able to find on the subject, it seems like it there is a differences between FreeBSD and Solaris. FreeBSD operates on directly on the disk and Solaris creates a partion and uses that... is that right? Is it impossible for OpenSolaris to use zpool''s from FreeBSD?

I'm trying to destroy a zfs array which I recently created. It contains nothing of value. # zpool status pool: storage state: ONLINE status: One or more devices could not be used because the label is missing or invalid. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a degraded state. action: Replace the device using 'zpool replace'.

I''ve posted this some time ago but lost track of the subject line and answers. My zfs machine has croaked to the point that it just quits after some 10 15 minutes of uptime. No interesting logs or messages what so ever. At least not that I''ve found. It just quietly quits. I''m not interested in dinking around with this setup... its well ready for upgrade. What

I just got a call from another of our admins, as I am the resident ZFS expert, and they have opened a support case with Oracle, but I figured I''d ask here as well, as this forum often provides better, faster answers :-) We have a server (M4000) with 6 FC attached SE-3511 disk arrays (some behind a 6920 DSP engine). There are many LUNs, all about 500 GB and mirrored via ZFS. The LUNs

Hi experts zpool import shows some weird config of an old zpool bash-3.00# zpool import pool: data1 id: 7539031628606861598 state: FAULTED status: One or more devices are missing from the system. action: The pool cannot be imported.

Dear all, Is there anyone that deploys their Rails apps on amazon EC2? I read from AWS website that they have Rails on EC2.
