Hi Chuan,

Sorry to hear you're having issues with StarCluster. I just got back in town, 
sorry for the delayed response.

Dan, as always, thanks for responding :D

Could you try launching a cluster without using the EBS volume and let me know 
if it succeeds? Nicolas Pinto had a similar issue with StarCluster and I 
believe it only happened for him when using EBS.

Thanks,

~Justin
