[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (WHIRR-189) Hadoop on EC2 should use all available local storage

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-189?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12977263#action_12977263 ]

--------------------------------------------------------------

FYI the local drive that has the most space on the m1.small instances is not mounted on  / but on  /media/ephemeral0

[ec2-user@ip-10-203-86-244 ec2-user]$ df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda1            7.9G  1.8G  6.1G  23% /
tmpfs                 840M     0  840M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/xvda2            147G  6.4G  133G   5% /media/ephemeral0


Both drives have the same (read) speed though:

[ec2-user@ip-10-203-86-244 ec2-user]$ sudo /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/xvda1
/dev/xvda1:
 Timing cached reads:   3966 MB in  2.05 seconds = 1939.33 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  372 MB in  3.02 seconds = 123.23 MB/sec

[ec2-user@ip-10-203-86-244 ec2-user]$ sudo /sbin/hdparm -tT /dev/xvda2
/dev/xvda2:
 Timing cached reads:   4442 MB in  2.00 seconds = 2222.59 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  376 MB in  3.00 seconds = 125.19 MB/sec
