for this bug, later in the cycle we'll be publishing a "rescue" EBS volume for booting from. All the other options would include a dramatic change of behavior that would not be desireable for users -- like a "rescue SSH console" or some other nonsense.
The path forward will be: - Canonical will publish a "rescue volume" which is a cloud image with a label of "RESCUE_VOL". - Cloud-Init on boot will recognize this rescue volume and swtich over to the rescue volume (Cloud init launches before the general mount) - Users will then rescue their system the same way The rescue volumes should land sometime this cycle. ** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu Quantal) Status: Triaged => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to cloud-init in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/928990 Title: fsck / dirty filesystem on instance is death To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cloud-init/+bug/928990/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
