> My previous patch that added support for passing 'ex_blockdevicemappings' to the EC2 create_node() method only supported parameters 'DeviceName' and 'VirtualName'. This is sufficient for mapping ephemerals into the instance but it prevents other options such as specifying a root EBS volume with larger sizes, mapping other EBS, or creating EBS from snapshots.
> I have a patch forthcoming that will allow any possible Block Device Mapping argument to be submitted so that all current and future settings should Just Work.
