[StarCluster] Fwd: StarCluster not mounting EBS volume correctly

[Dan Tenenbaum]

More info on this.
I tried passing "starcluster createvolume" an -i flag with the ami-id for
the Starcluster 32-bit image and got the same result. BTW, the message that
login had failed came up very quickly, quicker than I would expect an
instance to spin up.

Then I tried passing the ami id for my own 64-bit image based on the
starcluster image, and apparently the createvolume command expects to run
with a 32-bit AMI:

volume.py:186 - ERROR - exception thrown: EC2ResponseError: 400 Bad Request
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response><Errors><Error><Code>InvalidParameterValue</Code><Message>The
requested instance type's architecture (i386) does not match the
architecture in the manifest for ami-6a51a503
(x86_64)</Message></Error></Errors><RequestID>ce2a77a3-866d-4213-9b34-57266f99826a</RequestID></Response>
cli.py:566 - ERROR - failed to create new volume

Also, when I do not specify an AMI id, and I then type:
starcluster stop volumecreator

I see this:

Please submit bug reports to starcluster at mit.edu

Shutdown cluster volumecreator (y/n)? y
>>> Shutting down i-de04a5b3
>>> Shutting down i-0209a86f
>>> Shutting down i-f60eaf9b
>>> Removing cluster security group @sc-volumecreator

Why are three instances required just to create a volume?
Thanks
Dan
