Ben Howard (darkmuggle-deactivatedaccount) wrote : cloud-init should check/format Azure empheral disks each boot

On Windows Azure, the ephemeral disk should be treated as ephemeral per boot, not per instance.

Microsoft has informed us that under the following conditions an ephemeral disk may disappear:
1. The user resizes the instance
2. A fault causes the instance to move from one physical host to another
3. A machine is shutdown and then started again

Essentially, on Azure, the ephemeral disk is extremely ephemeral. Users who hit any of the above situations are discovering that /mnt is mount with their default NTFS file system.
