This would explain conflicting settings - there's more to a cluster than just the running instances and persistent volumes. That form retrieves those listings from the S3 buckets in your account. Each cluster has its own S3 bucket -- you can identify them with the yourCluster.clusterName files in the listing. These contain lots of information about your galaxy clusters (references to volumes, universe settings, etc.), and if you're attempting to eliminate a cluster completely (you never want to restart it and don't want *anything* preserved), you should delete the buckets referring to them as well. When you ask Cloudman to terminate and remove a cluster permanently, it removes all of this for you, and I'd recommend always using the interface to do this and not doing it manually. Definitely let me know what else I can do to help. If you have a running instance you'd like for me to look at directly I'd be happy to do so -- maybe this is indeed some weird issue that we can work around better. ___________________________________________________________ Please keep all replies on the list by using "reply all" in your mail client.
