GenBank snapshot corrupted?

I was attempting to mount the GenBank data from this snapshot today and I am having issues when mounting. I have successfully mounted several other Amazon Public Data sets, but this one is giving me trouble.

Here are the steps I followed:
* Create volume from snapshot (with appropriate size)
* Attach volume to instance (Debian base)
* Mount volume

When I attempt to mount, it simple hangs. I do not believe it is an issue of the size of the volume since I have successfully mounted the PubChem library (230GB).

Cheers,
David

We just posted an updated snapshot (snap-60689509) that should resolve the problem.

Thanks for pointing this out.
