ami-tiny is an ultra small busybox image and it doesn't have udev set up properly
if you cat /proc/partitions you should see the device listed.
You can make the traditional /dev/vd* using mknod
grep vdb /proc/partitions | `awk '{print "mknod /dev/"$4" b "$1" "$2}'`

-bash-3.2# cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name

 252 1 153600 vda1
=======================================================

no any error in each worker screen...........

is possible that bcz I use a loopback device on the same computer with instance?

shoulda I or can I use volumes on SWIFT?

but I didn't see any flag to config volume storage location.
