It'd be helpful to see if this a problem on RHEL 5. RHEL 6 has a bug where xen devices start from 'e' rather than 'a'. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729586 So /dev/xvda3 is actually being exposed as /dev/xvde3. In my trial if you change that swap fstab entry to match this behavior, swapon -a works. RHEL 5 doesn't have this bug, so it should just work. Additionally when filing an ec2-related bug, please be sure to use the EC2 keyword. Why do AMI fstab files use devices instead of labels or uuids? I think a bug to the instance generator should be written to correct that. These types of assumptions about device naming are dangerous and unnecessary. In addition, /dev/xvda is _not_ being exposed as /dev/xvde, /dev/sda is. The problem really is that we are using /dev/sda. Is that mandated by Amazon's infrastructure or can we control this? /dev/sda is what Amazon's docs recommend. Other Linux distributions as far as I know use this convention. http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/InstanceStorage.html Closing as a dupe since this is really a symptom of bug 729586. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 729586 *** |
