[Bug 676819] [NEW] Attaching a volume to a "pending" instance claims success, but never attaches.

[Kiall]

Public bug reported:

Attaching a volume to a "pending" instance claims success (via
euca2ools, and the API) but never attaches to the instance. This may be
a KVM only issue.

As its pretty easy to reproduce, I haven't attached much in the way of
detail - let me know if you need any specific info.

Command Line usage, assuming i-307905AD is in the "pending" state:

$ euca-attach-volume -d /dev/vda -i i-307905AD vol-59820625
VOLUME	vol-59820625

Also, this possibly only occurs very early (first 5 seconds) of the
pending state. The same command succeeds if you wait for the instance to
arrive at the "available" status.

Eucalyptus: Version: 2.0+bzr1241-0ubuntu4
Euca2ools: Version: 1.2-0ubuntu11
