Please add the ability to enter *any* device name, in addition to (or
instead of) presenting a list of common choices, when attaching a
volume. Today I needed to attach /dev/sda1 to an instance using my
phone, and I had to resort to connectbot to do it.

I frequently need to change the size of an instance. With an EBS
backed instance, it is easy:

Stop instance A
Detach /dev/sda1 from instance A
Attach /dev/sda1 to instance B
Start instance B

This way I can start the instance using the same boot volume as the
old one.

But the volume needs to be attached as /dev/sda1 ... Decaf cannot do
this.

Thanks!

Hi,

We just released a new version, 1.1.19, which allows to attach volumes with arbitrary device names.
It's available in the Android Market and will be available in the Amazon App Store as soon as Amazon approves it.
Please take a look and let us know if this is what you wanted.

Also included are name tags for instances, added Tokyo region and a couple little improvements.

Cheers!

Flavia
