[Bug 928990] Re: fsck / dirty filesystem on instance is death

[Ben Howard]

for this bug, later in the cycle we'll be publishing a "rescue" EBS
volume for booting from. All the other options would include a dramatic
change of behavior that would not be desireable for users -- like a
"rescue SSH console" or some other nonsense.

The path forward will be:
  - Canonical will publish a "rescue volume" which is a cloud image with a label of "RESCUE_VOL". 
  - Cloud-Init on boot will recognize this rescue volume and swtich over to the rescue volume (Cloud init launches before the general mount)
  - Users will then rescue their system the same way

The rescue volumes should land sometime this cycle.

** Changed in: cloud-init (Ubuntu Quantal)
       Status: Triaged => Won't Fix
