Hi Chuan,

Have you checked whether or not the EBS volume ever gets to an 'attached'
state using either ElasticFox or the AWS web console?

Also, you can run starcluster in debug mode by passing -d option:

$ starcluster -d -s

This will do the same thing as -s only with debug output enabled.

Would you mind sending me that output? Please be careful about any sensitive
data in the output if you cc this list.

Thanks,

~Justin
