Hi, so for macOS EC2 instances, AWS states, “AWS does not manage or support the internal SSD on the Apple hardware. We strongly recommend that you use Amazon EBS volumes instead. EBS volumes provide the same elasticity, availability, and durability benefits on Mac instances as they do on any other EC2 instance”. Where is the internal SSD storage located on the machine, and where is the EBS storage located? For example, when I run ls /Volumes
, I only see Machintosh HD
.
What does mount
tell you?
Use macinthecloud.com instead
The question was about AWS and EBS, not a request for alternatives
/dev/disk2s4s1 on / (apfs, sealed, local, read-only, journaled)
devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
/dev/disk2s6 on /System/Volumes/VM (apfs, local, noexec, journaled, noatime, nobrowse)
/dev/disk2s2 on /System/Volumes/Preboot (apfs, local, journaled, nobrowse)
/dev/disk2s5 on /System/Volumes/Update (apfs, local, journaled, nobrowse)
/dev/disk2s1 on /System/Volumes/Data (apfs, local, journaled, nobrowse)
map auto_home on /System/Volumes/Data/home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
/dev/disk4s1 on /Volumes/SkyD19D52.D321D331D421D431OS (apfs, local, nodev, nosuid, read-only, journaled, noowners, mounted by ec2-user)```
(you can ignore disk4s1, that one’s due to my own changes)
Also, here’s df
