snapshotId can only be modified on EBS devices
Issue:-
I am trying to launch an instance, and I'm adding an EBS volume on top of the root volume. In the extra EBS volume, I'm specifying a snapshot I created. When I click "Launch", I immediately get the following error:
snapshotId can only be modified on EBS devices
Solution:-
The solution which worked for me was to use an available AWS recommended device name e.g.
/dev/sdf
. AWS recommended device name for attaching EBS volume is /dev/sd[f-p]
Thank You.
