I am spawning a few test servers on ec2 that happen to be m1.larges. I am using these test servers for load balancin testing. Anyways, most of the servers I have used before have been backed by EBS, but these instances (ubuntu 11.04) obviously come with a lot of ephemeral space located @ /mnt.

What I noticed that is happening is I am running on space on the root disk. I am trying out this tutorial

http://www.turnkeylinux.org/docs/using-instance-storage

moving my /home + /usr directories to /mnt and then remounting them. This works except it does not survive a reboot. Am I missing something here or is this tutorial not completely correct.

How do I make space on my / drive so I can do stuff and survive re-boots.
