[Starcluster] a note about EBS volumes

Hi All,

Nicolas Pinto was having issues getting his EBS volume mounted with
StarCluster. The problem turned out to be that he was using c1.xlarge
instances and had specified the device/partition settings as:

device: /dev/sdd
partition: /dev/sdd1

This "should" be fine, however, Amazon now gives you 4x450gb scratch
drives attached the instance by default. Thus he was trying to mount his
volume on an unavailable device/partition combination.

Changing his setting to /dev/sdj (ie something lower than a,b,c,d - the
alread existing disks) and /dev/sdj1 fixed the problem for him.

If you're having issues getting your EBS volume attached, please try
using a lower drive letter (ie /dev/sdz) and see if that fixes the issue.

I will check for these things in the new version to ensure this doesn't
happen in the future.

Thanks and HTH someone,

~Justin
