Hey everyone! I need some help figuring out a weird issue I'm having with my Jenkins setup. I have a machine that runs automated builds for around 10 projects every morning. Today, out of those 10 builds, 7 failed with an error saying a particular automated script was missing for about 10 minutes. This script is located on EBS, and despite checking an hour later to confirm that the file was indeed there, the builds immediately before the 10-minute mark all failed. After that window, everything worked fine again. I'm trying to understand if it's possible for files on EBS to become unavailable randomly like this, as I haven't experienced this kind of issue before. Also, are there any EBS logs that might indicate if any errors occurred? Thanks!

This sounds more like a Jenkins issue or possibly related to filesystem permissions. EBS itself wouldn’t suddenly make a single file unavailable since it’s block storage. AWS has no insight into the specific files on your EBS volume, so there won't be logs for file-level issues. If EBS had become totally unavailable for 10 minutes, it would indicate a larger problem with the AWS service in your Availability Zone.
Yeah, that makes sense tbh, thanks!
