Hey Rob, Yes, you should be able to create your own volume and sub it into pd.yaml. Since you want to share this across several instances, and you can't mount an EBS volume to multiple instances, you'll definitely want to use the snapshot method (and so, snap_id is required). -Dannon On Tue, May 14, 2013 at 10:39 AM, Rob Leclerc <robert.leclerc@gmail.com>wrote:

We'd like to trim the the galaxyIndicies/genome directory to human and blastdb. As we may have several CM instances, we would like to share this filesystem across all instances.

I would like to simply copy these data to a new volume and mount this filesystem with all our CM instances. Do I just need to rename specified filesystem in pd.yaml to ourGalaxyIndicies and then mount our CMs to /mnt/ourGalaxyIndicies/, or are their other locations I need to modify as well? Are the size and snap_id required?

Cheers!

Rob
