Peter, anything I missed?
Only that the doc is extremely misleading in the following part: Several PVGRUB AKIs are available depending on the type and location of your instance. There are AKIs for 32‐bit and 64‐bit architecture types, and there are AKIs for Amazon S3‐Backed instances and Amazon EBS‐backed instances. For S3‐ Backed instances, choose an AKI with “hd0” in the name, and for EBS‐backed instances chose an AKI with “hd00” in the name. These names refer to different disk layouts within the AKI that are appropriate for each use case. This is simply wrong. hd00 AKIs are used when there is a partition table and the root volume is mounted on a full device, hd0 is used when the root volume has no partition table. The only relation to EBS vs. S3 is that S3-backed images are _always_ without partition table, while EBS ones are only _usually_ without partition table. Here are the statistics for root devices on the public images in EC2: 1774 <rootDeviceName>/dev/sda1</rootDeviceName> 19 <rootDeviceName>/dev/sda2</rootDeviceName> 88 <rootDeviceName>/dev/sda5</rootDeviceName> 4 <rootDeviceName>/dev/sda</rootDeviceName> 6 <rootDeviceName>/dev/sdb</rootDeviceName> 1 <rootDeviceName>/dev/sdh</rootDeviceName> I would suggest ignoring the hd00 PV-GRUB. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
