I'm building a ECE cluster at AWS. I'm using the AMIs provided by Elastic. I'm trying to create my allocator EC2 instances with 4TB of disk. I have done this in cloud formation, with the following parameters. BlockDeviceMappings: - DeviceName: /dev/sdb Ebs: VolumeSize: 4000 VolumeType: gp2 DeleteOnTermination: true In the OS userdata I run the following commands. "mkfs -t xfs /dev/xvdb\n", "mkdir /data\n", "mount /dev/xvdb /data\n", "chown elastic.elastic /data\n", "echo '/dev/xvdb /data ext4 defaults,nofail 0 2' \>\> /etc/fstab\n", OS looks like this, [elastic@ip-10-212-98-233 mapper]$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /dev tmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 16G 8.3M 16G 1% /run tmpfs 16G 0 16G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/xvda3 19G 1.7G 17G 10% / /dev/xvda1 1014M 209M 806M 21% /boot /dev/mapper/lxc-data 19G 1.1G 18G 6% /mnt/data /dev/xvdb 4.0T 33M 4.0T 1% /data tmpfs 3.2G 0 3.2G 0% /run/user/1000 I try to install ECE with the following command ./elastic-cloud-enterprise-installer.sh --coordinator-host 10.212.97.168 --host-storage-path /data --debug This errors out, with nothing useful, debug output is below. -- Debug Info -- NODE\_TYPE - additional REPOSITORY - [docker.elastic.co/cloud-enterprise](http://docker.elastic.co/cloud-enterprise) RUNNER\_REGION - ece-region RUNNER\_HOST\_IP - 10.212.98.233 ELASTIC\_UID - 1000 NODE\_TYPE - additional RUNNER\_AVAILABILITY\_ZONE - ece-region-1b HOST\_STORAGE\_ROOT\_VOLUME\_PATH - / MEMORY\_SETTINGS - {} COORDINATOR\_HOST - 10.212.97.168 RUNNER\_ID - 10.212.98.233 HOST\_STORAGE\_PATH - /data RUNNER\_CAPACITY - 26971 CLOUD\_ENTERPRISE\_VERSION - 1.0.0-beta2 HOST\_STORAGE\_DEVICE\_PATH - /dev/mapper/lxc-data ELASTIC\_GID - 1000 -- Verifying Prerequisites -- Checking host storage path...

Hi @tarp, Does this install fail constantly? When it fails, can you run the following commands to try and get some more info out of the issue. - `docker ps -a` - `docker logs elastic-cloud-enterprise-bootstrap-1.0.0-beta2` If you can give us the output of those two commands, that would help us diagnose the issue here. Thanks, Christian ---

Hi Christian, I'm out of the office for about a week, so I can't test this right now. Can you look at my filesystem creation process and tell me if this is sound? Is there a better way to be doing this with EC2 at AWS using the provided AMIs? Thanks, Tim ---

Hi Christian, Sorry for getting back to you so late, I was on vacation. Yes this happens everytime I try to build the allocator with the larger disk. Output you requested is here.

Hi, I have corrected this issue with the following steps shutdown docker service I copied the existing /mnt/data/\* to /data updated permissions remounted /data as /mnt/data updated the /etc/fstab remount startup docker This gave me my 4TB partition and I didn't have to run the installer with any special data flags. ---
