I'm trying to use the official CentOS AMI from the AWS marketplace (https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B00IOYDTV6) but there's a problem using it with Animator because the root device is /dev/sda but the block device mapping includes only /dev/sda1, which is the partition on the drive.

Animator of course doesn't support partitioned drives but I'm not sure how, or indeed if, I can amend this image to be useable.

Graham,

There was a pretty recent PR that added a --partition flag to specify which partition on the disk is your root partition. I have aminator 2.1.70-dev installed, and am using the flag without issue.
