Create a 1GB volume and attach it to one of the instances

According to the above infomation, I knew the instances-id and public DNS of my two running OmniOs instances:

  1. i-0ab15f53de99f4dff ec2-52-55-98-238.compute-1.amazonaws.com
  2. i-0f177e140a2d45383 ec2-54-166-108-26.compute-1.amazonaws.com

Because I used to reboot the second instance, the public DNS has changed. It’s not a necessary step, I omit that part.

And their “AvailabilityZone” is “us-east-1d”
I create the colume and attach it to the first instance “/dev/sdf”.

    "Device": "/dev/sdg"
}

Create the file system in the volume, mount it to the first instance then create a file.

In this section, I met a lot of troubles to create the file system. After command format, I got the DISK device-name is ‘c1t2144d0’.
But I cannot run by command newfs c1t2144d0 or newfs /devices/xpvd/xdf@2144. CLI told me “it’s not a raw device”. After searching lots of blog and tutorial, I knew that newfs parameter ‘address’ should locate into /dev/rdsk. But under the directory /dev/rdsk, there isn’t file whose name is ‘c1t2144d0’. By comparing the example command and the files name in /dev/rdsk, I realized that the volume has been divided into slices, and I should use the ‘c1t2144d0s0’ as the part of parameter.

In the OmniOS, I create a UFS file system. The OmniOS also support ZFS, but the creation of ZFS is more complecate than UFS.
Using the command newfs. newfs is a friendly front-end command of mkfs. It could caculate the properly parameters then transfer to mkfs to run.

Create a 1GB volume and attach it to one of the instances

According to the above infomation, I knew the instance id and public DNS of my two running Linux instances:

i-0892e3a2148d40757 ec2-54-242-31-152.compute-1.amazonaws.com
i-03c597e94f5bd3809 ec2-54-165-167-87.compute-1.amazonaws.com

And their “AvailabilityZone” is “us-east-1d”
I create the colume and attach it to the first instance “/dev/sdf”.

Create the new file system on the first linux instance

  1. Use lsblk to view available disk devices and their mount points.
  2. Determine whether we need to create a file system on the volume. In Linux, use the sudo file -s device command to list special information.
  3. Make a new file system by using command mkfs.
  4. Check again on step 2.
  5. Create a mount point directory for the volume.
  6. Mount the volume at the location we just created.

In Linux, I create a exts4 type file system. Using the command mkfs, we could use -t to point out which type we want to create.

Attach the volume to the instance

We knew:
The volume id is: vol-0a3064debd17cede4
instance-id = i-0e28b8fb27b75b707
public DNS = ec2-52-70-181-33.compute-1.amazonaws.com

SSH to the instance of Linux, mount the volume and check the file.

Conclusion

We can use the same volume / filesystem across different OS instances.
But the volumn was write-protected state, mounting read-only.
I found something in this web:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/monitoring-volume-status.html

“When Amazon EBS determines that a volume’s data is potentially inconsistent, it disables I/O to the volume from any attached EC2 instances by default. This causes the volume status check to fail, and creates a volume status event that indicates the cause of the failure.”

Check the Attribute of autoEnableIO

bash-3.2$ aws ec2 describe-volume-attribute --volume-id vol-0a3064debd17cede4 --attribute autoEnableIO
{
    "AutoEnableIO": {
        "Value": false
    }, 
    "VolumeId": "vol-0a3064debd17cede4"
}

Active the AutoEnableIO.

bash-3.2$ aws ec2 describe-volume-attribute --volume-id vol-0a3064debd17cede4 --attribute autoEnableIO
{
    "AutoEnableIO": {
        "Value": true
    }, 
    "VolumeId": "vol-0a3064debd17cede4"
}

But after setting and reboot the instance, mounting still is read-only…
I check the mount

[ec2-user@ip-172-31-48-166 data]$ mount | grep xvdf
/dev/xvdf on /home/ec2-user/data type ufs (ro,relatime,ufstype=old,onerror=lock)

I think the reason why volume lock is that this ufstype is too old… So this Linux cann’t support.
