After a routine reboot of a Linux ec2 instance with 1 small root volume and 1 small attached volume I was not able to ssh into the instance. It is not clear why rebooting the instance caused it to be inaccessible from ssh. The instance showed as running in the AWS console but ssh, http,etc was not responsive. I tried to create an AMI from this running instance.
I'm very new to linux. Setup Ubuntu 12.10 as an HTPC running XBMC which has been running great. I unplugged (without ejecting) a USB hard drive which Ubuntu said was busy and wouldn't eject itself.
I'm looking through this guide for how to add an EBS volume to an Amazon EC2 instance, and I've found this little part of instructions hard to follow:
Create an XFS file system on the EBS volume and mount it as /vol
grep -q xfs /proc/filesystems || sudo modprobe xfs
sudo mkfs.xfs /dev/sdh
echo "/dev/sdh /vol xfs noatime 0 0" | sudo tee -a /etc/fstab
sudo mkdir -m 000 /vol
sudo mount /vol
So, I have a raid 1 array that's not starting at boot. I have to manually restart the array, mount it, then add the second drive to as it shows 1 drive failed. it recovers and works fine... until I reboot. Then I have to start all over again.
In my Ubuntu 12.04, the hibernation option was working well and fine. However, I installed Debian on another partition recently and when I again tried to boot to Ubuntu, I got a message on the boot splash screen saying :
The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present.
I recently did the update from 12.04 to 12.10 on my old Dell Latitude CPx laptop (Pentium III). When I rebooted I got this error message with no response from keyboard input. Below it is says
Wait to continue, press S to skip mounting, or M for manual recovery.
I also see occasional errors pop up on the screen from mountall and Plymouth.
I can still get into Recovery Mode.
I'm running an Amazon EC2 instance (Ubuntu Server version: 11.10 (64 bit)) and am having problems with re-attaching EBS volumes to previously used device names.
For example, I launch the instance and attach a volume to /dev/xvdh. This will mount, operate perfectly and then unmount and detach without issues.
Ok, I guess I need help with this. I have a dual boot Vista/Ubuntu HP system. I decided to finally upgrade my 10.04 LTS to 12.04. All seemed to go well, but when I attempt a reboot, I get this message: "The disk drive for / is not ready yet or not present". Hit 'skip' and it then says "The disk drive to /tmp is not ready or not present".
This should be incredibly obvious, but I can't seem to work out how to do it.
I have an EC2 instance running. I can see the 'Public DNS' (hostname) of my instance.
I have set up a Route 53 'hosted zone' for my domain, and changed the name servers with the registrar.
But how (using the AWS Management Console) do I actually link them, so my domain maps to my instance?
