Seems like you're expecting shell_out to raise an exception if  the
grep command doesn't find the mount.  That's not how shell_out works,
so your rescue block will never run.
Instead you should be checking #exitstatus:

  if node['ec2']
    ebs_mounted = shell_out("grep /ebs /proc/mounts 2>&1 | grep -q
md[1-9]").exitstatus.zero?
  end

Thanks,
