Daniel Darabos commented on SPARK-2291:
---------------------------------------

I don't know if something has changed on Amazon's end or if I'm missing 
something. (I'm pretty clueless.) But we still see missing SSDs. This change 
fixed it for us: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/2081/files. The block 
device mapping entries are necessary according to 
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/InstanceStorage.html#InstanceStore_UsageScenarios.

I guess you tested PR #1156. Actually it seemed to have worked for us too for a 
while. But now some of the machines come up without SSDs. (/dev/sdb and 
/dev/sdc do not exist.) So I read the docs and tried adding the block device 
mappings. Seems to work. With PR #2081 all machines have the SSDs.

Hope this makes sense.
