Bug Description
[Impact]: Cloud Images running on Windows Azure are inconsistant with regards to the mount location of the ephemeral storage. As we switch to cloud-init provioning Bug #1202202, the images need to be consistant with regards to the location of ephemeral storage.
[Regression]: This change simply mounts the ephemeral storage to /mnt from /mnt/resource.
[Test Case]: Boot on Windows Azure and validate that /mnt is the mount location of the ephemeral storage.
[Originial Report]:
via cloud-init, ubuntu cloud images mount the first 'ephemeral' disk to /mnt.
This behavior is consistent on openstack and ec2.
On azure, the "resource disk" is mounted to /mnt.
The result is someone/something who expects /mnt to be a large ephemeral disk will fill up their root disk on azure.
please mount the 'resource' filesystem to /mnt.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for looking at this. The mount point for the resource disk is configurable via /etc/waagent.conf (see the "ResourceDisk. MountPoint" parameter). The default is /mnt/resource, but this could be changed to another location if desired.
Thanks,
Steve
