[00:46] <flaccid> smoser: isn't the storage inclusive of the ephemeral ?
[00:46] <flaccid> you could create an LVM if needed
[01:57] <smoser> flaccid, see the comment i added at http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-on-ec2/ubuntu-on-ec2/ec2-publishing-scripts/revision/239
[01:58] <smoser> so, *our* ebs root images that we create only have ephemeral0 by default.
[01:58] <smoser> its kind of strange to me that you don't get the instance-store like behavior if you simply don't pass --block-device-mapping to the register command.
[01:59] <smoser> instead, you get no ephemeral at all in that case.
[02:00] <flaccid> hmm interesting
[02:00] <flaccid> on a practical level do you need all the extra storage?
[02:00] <Nolar> odd
[02:01] <Nolar> m1.small ebs here with /dev/sda2             147G  188M  140G   1% /mnt
[02:01] <Nolar> plain ol' 10.04.1 ami
[02:02] <flaccid> that looks right, 147GB formatted = 150GB block
[02:03] <Nolar> yup
[02:03] <Nolar> but i didnt do anything special to get it
[02:03] <Nolar> havent tried a m1.large
[02:07] <Nolar> m1.large:  /dev/sdb              414G  199M  393G   1% /mnt
[02:07] <flaccid> only 1 mounted
[02:07] <flaccid> 850 GB instance storage (2×420 GB plus 10 GB root partition)
[02:09] <Nolar> i dont use local disks, so no biggie, but good to know
[17:47] <smoser> Nolar, flaccid what Nolar saw is correct. we register our ebs amis with 1 ephemeral drive (sda2 for i386 and sdb for amd64).
[17:47] <smoser> so that is what you get by default.
[17:47] <smoser> but if you ask when you launch (ie, with --block-device-mapping sdc=ephemeral2) then you can get more depending on the instance size.
[17:48] <smoser> I didn't particularly have a good use for it, but just was concerned that it wasn't htere, and though it might be a kernel driver issue or something worse. now i at least know what is causing it.
[19:05] <fgm_> Hello everyone. I am intending to install UEC from ubuntu 9.10 server CD with different problems. May you please point me to official guide on how to do this? I know I have seen it, but now I can only find https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC/CDInstall, which gets me to the 10.04 guide
[19:07] <SandCube> anyone can recommend a cheap cloud server provider as http://www.rackspacecloud.com/ but with unmetered option?

[21:26] <smoser> fgm_, the first quesiton is why are you not using 10.04 ?
[21:47] <fgm_> smoser: the first answer is because it worked worse, and I spent lot of hours intending to make it work. However with a recipe from a colleague and sufficient attempts I've been able to make it work several times. However, last time it broke I couldnt save it, nor install it again
[21:47] <fgm_> smoser: *to make 9.1 work*
