Dan Watkins (oddbloke) wrote : Azure data source should auto-detect ephemeral disk location

Currently we assume it will be /dev/sdb, but this may change. There is an example of how to handle this in the Azure Linux agent.

To quote stevez in a comment on bug 1410835:

Device names are not persistent in Linux and could change, so it is not guaranteed that the ephemeral disk will be called /dev/sdb. Ideally this should be auto-detected in cloud-init at runtime (for example, see DeviceForIdePort() in the Azure Linux agent).
