Hi Enis, well, I know I do not have to create a new AMI if I want to reuse an instance myself. However, I would like to share the modified GalaxyCloudman version with other people and therefore I do have to create an AMI. Ok, I will try to make this work somehow ... but I guess there are no immediate clues as to what could have gone wrong? Or do you have any ideas what I should try?

Hi Marcel,
However, when I create an AMI, terminate the cluster and create a new
cluster using the new AMI, both /mnt/galaxyData and /mnt/galaxyTools do not exist anymore, i.e. /dev/sdg3 and /dev/sdg4 are not mounted automatically. If I mount those two devices manually, everything runs smoothly again.
So, is there anything that I might have forgotten to do while creating the AMI? Is there a way to make sure that those devices will be mounted automatically?
It is not necessary to create a new AMI when wanting to customize your cluster. Instead, on the admin interface - after you have modified the file systems, there is an option to persist static file systems (galaxyTools& galaxyIndices). Once the process is completed and you restart the cluster, just continue to use the same AMI. CloudMan will use the new, customized, data snapshots at runtime.
Let us know how it goes, Enis
Regards, Marcel

Hi Marcel, It would be best to use 'galaxy' user to add any tools. To do so, after you've logged in as ubuntu user, simply execute: sudo su galaxy and you will become galaxy user. You can then make the desired modifications.
Good luck, Enis
