[cs615asa] mounting volumes

[Mark Freeman]

Hi Elliot,

I believe there is a block device mapping that occurs, which differs based
on AMI.  So even if you specify to mount at /dev/sda3, that gets mapped to
somewhere else.

Have you checked on the instance using dmesg?  That usually gives a
notification of where it mapped into.

If that doesn't work, perhaps try specifying a different --device mount
point when attaching the volume.  Say /dev/sdh or something like that?

Not sure if this helps your situation, but figured I'd chime in.

Thanks!
Mark
