Init script to mount EBS and attach elastic IPs to EC2 instances

Modified init script to mount EBS automatically to your EC2 instances.  It also dynamically attaches your instances to an elastic ip.  You have to provide both EBS volume id and elastic ip as userdata separated by pipe symbol for this script to work.  Sample userdata 

vol-12345678|171.213.234.123

You have to use 

update-rc.d mountec2vol start 47 S . stop 35 0 6 . start 37 6 .

to add this script to startup. This script also additional code to mount mysql data directory and nginx directories from EBS. You can skip that part.

Hi Dëêþàñ

there seems to be a
"ec2-attach-volume $VOL -i $INSTANCE -d $DEV 1>&2 2>>$EC2_LOG"
missing in the while loop in your attach_ebs() function.

many thanks for the script!! helps me a lot! :)
