Re: Volume questions

Hugh,

Just added that, so it looks like (in part):

[cluster smallcluster]
# change this to the name of one of the keypair sections defined above
KEYNAME = ec2
AVAILABILITY_ZONE = us-east-1d

Also:

AWS_REGION_NAME = us-east-1

And:

VOLUMES = bio

And:

[volume bio]
VOLUME_ID = vol-2a717454
MOUNT_PATH = /bio

Still getting the "ERROR - volume vol-2a717454 does not exist" error (and the volume is "available" at console.aws.amazon.com, in us-east-1d).

Thanks again,

Brian O.
