Public bug reported: After resizing a 16.04 VM on Azure, the VM is presented with a new ephemeral drive (of a different size), which initially is NTFS formatted. Cloud-init tries to format the appropriate partition ext4, but fails because it is mounted. Cloud-init has unmount logic for exactly this case in the get_data call on the Azure data source, but this is never called because fresh cache is found.
