Having the ebs vol id as a parameter in the node manifest works for us $ebsvol = "xxx"
Then use the Mount type with that variable in your manifest file. We've observed an issue when mounting EBS volumes in EC2 on our CentOS 5 AMI though - puppetd seems to hang when executing the mount command. Occurs if I use the puppet Mount type, or just call mount via exec/bash script. Seems related to the amount of data on the EBS vols (40GB+) Running in debug provides no extra info - running 0.25.4 Thanks, Matt On 21 April 2010 13:44, Phillip B Oldham <phillip.old...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the reply.
