[Bug 1410835] Re: Azure ephemeral disk and custom mount points

[trialotto]

@Stephen,

The non-persistence of device names is indeed a bug, even though device
names can be declared by cloud-config settings.

With respect to the Azure Linux Agent, it should be noted that one has
the option to use a standard declaration of device names (and
partitions, if desired), instead of taking the "autodetection" approach.

The above option has the advantage that it allows for and/or can allow
for

a - (persistent) fixation of device names,

b - (persistent) configuration of device names (and even partitions, if
desired) in waagent.conf,

c - removal of multiple lines of code in the waagent script,

and it must be emphasized that the above implies that, in essence, the
approach of using CustomData for injecting cloud-config settings becomes
less relevant or even obsolete, if and only if the waagent script allows
for using waagent.conf variables in the cloud-init sequence.

In short, there are some possibilities for the improvement of the
waagent script and the proper functioning thereof.

Kind regards....
