[21:38] <develop> hi i took a snapshot of a volume create on us-east1d and create a volume on us-east1a. But the instance does not mount the volume even if it says attached : not in /dev
[22:25] <erichammond> develop: It can sometimes take a short while between "attached" and showing up in /dev/sdX
[22:26] <erichammond> If it's not there after a minute, recheck your instance ids and device names.
[22:27] <erichammond> You can get the current instance's id with instanceid=$(wget -qO- http://instance-data/latest/meta-data/instance-id)
[22:52] <develop> thnks . switching volumes from zones by taking snapshots should not be a prob
