[StarCluster] Increase /tmp space

[Ryan G]

Here's what I use as a user data script.    It will take all the ephemeral
storage drives and create 1 large logical volume.


#!/bin/bash

VOLUMES=""
for device in `curl -s
169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/block-device-mapping/`
do
        if [[ $device == "ephemeral"* ]]
        then
                block=`curl -s
169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/block-device-mapping/$device | awk -F/
'{print $NF}'`;
                if [[ -e /dev/$block ]]
                then
#if [ ! -e /mnt/$device ]
#then
               #        mkfs.ext3 /dev/$block
               #        mkdir /mnt/$device
               #        mount /dev/$block /mnt/$device
# chmod 1777 /mnt/$device
#fi
pvcreate /dev/$block
VOLUMES="${VOLUMES} /dev/$block"
                fi
        fi
done

vgcreate vg_ephemeral $VOLUMES
SIZE=`vgdisplay vg_ephemeral | grep "Total PE" | awk '{print $3}'`
lvcreate -l $SIZE vg_ephemeral -n ephemerallv
mkfs.ext3 /dev/mapper/vg_ephemeral-ephemerallv
mkdir /scratch
mount /dev/mapper/vg_ephemeral-ephemerallv /scratch
chmod 1777 /scratch
