I launched Ubuntu 14.01 instance in AWS by using its API (with Python and Boto).
I changed properties of the root device - 30GB instead of the default 8gb and used magnetic disk standard
instead of general ssd gp2
.
After boot finished I found that /etc/resolv.conf
symlink (-> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
) appears to be broken.
And than this happened:
root@ip-10-246-135-238:/etc# pwd
/etc
root@ip-10-246-135-238:/etc# ls ../run
udev
root@ip-10-246-135-238:/etc# ls /run
acpid.pid atd.pid crond.pid dbus initramfs motd.dynamic network plymouth resolvconf screen shm sshd.pid udev upstart-socket-bridge.pid user
acpid.socket cloud-init crond.reboot dhclient.eth0.pid lock mount network-interface-security pppconfig rsyslogd.pid sendsigs.omit.d sshd systemd upstart-file-bridge.pid upstart-udev-bridge.pid utmp
This environment is no longer up, so I cannot run any additional debug commands, but maybe someone could explain to me what happened here? How this is possible in the first place?
1Thanks. You made me look in the right direction. I actually made silly mistake by mounting two different partitions on
/
. While this is not exactly what you are saying, your first sentence is correct: my../
was not actually/

would also explain it. Thanks for the accept but since you've figured it out, you may as well accept your own answer and just upvote mine if it helped you. Accepting your own answer is perfectly fine.
