Reported by customer and reproduced. Customer trying to install 1.4.3 using the Amazon EC2 setup using the Amazon AWS CLI Tools option with EBS storage. This is something that has been support in older versions, like 1.1 and 1.2. Customer tried it in 1.4 and it didnt work. They created their own EBS storage to use for the DBRoot and it stop during postConfigure installation. I reproduced the same issue.

From customer:

Our Ansible script created the nodes and the volumes, but did not mount the volumes.
Running posrConfigure, seems to be stalled here:

A copy of the MariaDB ColumnStore Configuration file has been saved during Package install.
It's Configured for a Multi-Server Install.
You have an option of utilizing the configuration data from that file or starting
with the MariaDB ColumnStore Configuration File that comes with the MariaDB ColumnStore Package.
You will only want to utilize the old configuration data when performing the same
type of install, i.e. Single or Multi-Server

===== Setup System Server Type Configuration =====

There are 2 options when configuring the System Server Type: single and multi

'single' - Single-Server install is used when there will only be 1 server configured
on the system. It can also be used for production systems, if the plan is
to stay single-server.

'multi' - Multi-Server install is used when you want to configure multiple servers now or
in the future. With Multi-Server install, you can still configure just 1 server
now and add on addition servers/modules in the future.

Select the type of System Server install [1=single, 2=multi] (2) > 2

===== Setup System Module Type Configuration =====

There are 2 options when configuring the System Module Type: separate and combined

'separate' - User and Performance functionality on separate servers.

'combined' - User and Performance functionality on the same server

Select the type of System Module Install [1=separate, 2=combined] (1) > 2

Combined Server Installation will be performed.
The Server will be configured as a Performance Module.
All MariaDB ColumnStore Processes will run on the Performance Modules.

NOTE: The MariaDB ColumnStore Schema Sync feature will replicate all of the
schemas and InnoDB tables across the User Module nodes. This feature can be enabled
or disabled, for example, if you wish to configure your own replication post installation.

MariaDB ColumnStore Schema Sync feature is Enabled, do you want to leave enabled? [y,n] >

Columnstore supports the following storage options...
1 - internal. This uses the linux VFS to access files and does
not manage the filesystem.
2 - external *. If you have other mountable filesystems you would
like ColumnStore to use & manage, select this option.
3 - GlusterFS * Note: glusterd service must be running and enabled on
all PMs.
4 - S3-compatible cloud storage *. Note: that should be configured
before running postConfigure (see storagemanager.cnf)

  multi-node configuration.

These options are available on this system: [1, 2, 4]
