<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Glad you got it working. I had no idea
about the difference between the two versions regarding AMI
creation. For AMI creation, I find it easier to use the console.
This way I can label and provide a detailed description of the
AMIs I create and label their corresponding snapshots in the same
way so that I have an easier time deleting them when they are no
longer of use to me. <br>
<br>
Good Luck!<br>

<div>I did some further experiments, and it looks like
0.95.6 clears out "/root" before it builds the ami,

<div>0.93.3 did not. I'll try creating the ami through

<div>I can't attest to the behavior of
StarCluster regarding AMI creation because I
usually do my AMI creation from AWS console. I
can say that in the past I had SSH go down if
I created an AMI of a running instance.
Luckily after the AMI was completed and I
reboot a few times I got SSH functionality
back without having to mount my EBS backed
instance to another running instance to
restore SSH functionality. After that
experience I just stop the instance prior to
making an AMI. This of course only works on
EBS backed instances where the stopping them
doesn't result in termination -- also stopping
will dump all that you have stored in instance
storage. If rebooting the instance doesn't
work you can look <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://alestic.com/2011/02/ec2-fix-ebs-root"
target="_blank">here</a> for directions on
mounting to another running instance to
restore functionality.<br>
