<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a cluster based on a custom AMI. The AMI has 2 EBS, the root one and a 1TB one.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So each node in the cluster has this 1TB EBS volume with custom data that is not shared.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">The problem is that whenever I stopped the cluster with starcluster stop mycluster it dismounts the 1TB volumes and when i resume the cluster with starcluster start -x mycluster it doesnt mount the 1TB volume back.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there a way to tell Starcluster not to dismount the EBS when stopping?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
