Hi, The problem is caused, I think, by device numbering differences in xen versus ec2.
I solved this problem when creating my AMIs by the following procedure. 1. Create an extra volume in EC2 with the same size as the instance boot volume. 2. Attach the extra volume to the instance. 3. zpool attach the extra volume (c1t1d0?) zpool attach rpool c4t0d0 c1t1d0 4. zpool detach the original volume with incorrect name (c4t0d0) zpool detach rpool c4t0d0 5. zpool attach the original volume with the proper name (c1t0d0) zpool attach rpool c1t1d0 c0t0d0 6. zpool detach the extra volume. zpool detach rpool c1t1d0 7. Detach the extra volume from the instance and delete it. Double check all disk names in your instances first! regards Al On 20/07/18 01:46, PÁSZTOR György wrote: > Hi, > > I'm learning amazon, so I thought it would be nice, if I'd play with an > omnios inside my free tier experiments instead of linux. > I installed omnios from the "official" source: ami-0169c5108d1bdfd57 > (Yes, I choose Ohio instead of N.
