-----------------------------------------------------------

Another problem I ran into initially was the volumes created using the 
"create-storage" command were neither partitioned nor formatted with a 
filesystem. I verified this by logging on to the nodes individually and running:

$ ls -la /dev/sd*

which returned only the raw devices (/dev/sdj and /dev/sdk). Had those volumes 
been partitioned I would have at least seen two more entries (/dev/sdj1 and 
/dev/sdk1). And, obviously, without having any partition on the volume there's 
no possibility of them having a filesystem.

I thought this was the root cause of the problem that was keeping the 
jobtracker from starting but ultimately even after fixing this problem the 
volumes still fail to mount cleanly.

I followed the instructions here: 

http://help.rightscale.com/cgi-bin/rightscale.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=12&p_created=1221775401

for partitioning and formatting my EBS volumes on each node. The only thing I 
did differently was using the ext3 filesystem instead of ext2.
