I have apps stored into an EBS disk (EC2), this is what happens:
[8478660.968721] init: Failed to spawn rails main process: unable to change working directory: No such file or directory
[8478661.020311] init: failsafe main process (540) killed by TERM signal
[8478661.129133] kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds

[8478661.375571] Adding 917500k swap on /dev/xvda3. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:917500k SS
[8478661.588418] EXT4-fs (xvdf): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
It appears that the app is trying to start well before the last filesystem has been mounted, upstart script bits:
start on filesystem and started networking
...
chdir /home/ubuntu/apps/rails/current
The chdir fails immediately because the filesystem has not been mounted yet.
Instead of networking
I also tried other events (specifying INET, etc.) to no avail.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.04.
