This can either be invoked by instrumenting the user-data with a mime part with content-type 'text/x-ebs-mount-description' with a body like so: device=/dev/sde:/var/lib/mysql,/etc/alfresco device=/dev/sdf:/other/things or by using the appliance config XML format like so: <appliance> <storage device="/dev/sde"> <path>/var/lib/mysql</path> <path>/etc/alfresco</path> </storage> <storage device="/dev/sdf"> <path>/other/things</path> </appliance> </appliance> In either case, if the volume does not yet have a filesystem, one will be created. For each path that is to live on the volume, a directory is created, and populated with the data currently in the target directory (e.g. /var/lib/mysql is copied to ${ebs_volume_path}/_var_lib_mysql). Once this is done, the directories are bind-mounted to the relevant paths. If the directories in question already exist, they will just be bind-mounted.
