How to get /dev/sdf back after upgraded from Maverick to Natty in EC2?

  • 772

I've just upgraded my EC2 instance to Natty, using do-release-upgrade.

However, the block devices /dev/sdf, /dev/sdg, ... are no longer existed.

(I've already attached EBS to these devices, though.)

  1. In Ubuntu 11.04 Natty on EC2, you will find the block devices on the instance have been renamed to /dev/xvdf and /dev/xvdg though you'll still need to use /dev/sdf and /dev/sdg when specifying them to the Amazon API tools like ec2-attach-volume and ec2-run-instances --block-device-mapping.
