The instance id, snapshot name, EBS volume name and the mount point will be different in your case.
Issue Description
This error occurs during restoration of full backups taken using Amazon EBS snapshots.The restoration fails.
The error occurs due to the Amazon infrastructure latency issues where the state of the volume is "attached" but the volume isn't ready for mount operation in the EC2 instance.
Resolution
The solution is to manually mount the snapshot on the EC2 instance that is the target for restoration.
For example: mount -t xfs /dev/sdi /mysql_vol
