Hi,

Does starcluster have a quick start how to use EBS to create/backup the
images ?

I installed starcluster 0.93. After some simple changes following this link
http://web.mit.edu/stardev/cluster/docs/latest/quickstart.html, I'm able to
start and stop a cluster. But I got error when "starcluster start -x " the
same cluster.

Can someone give me a pointer ?

Thanks,
-Liang
