Hi Scott, The linked branch seems to reliably format the ephemeral disk on large instances. However, after redeploying the VM I don't see the ephemeral disk mounted after boot. The cloud-init log does not indicate any error, and if I type 'mount -a' (or do a simple reboot) then the disk is mounted properly with an ext4 filesystem.
To test this I'm creating an L32s VM on Azure with Ubuntu 16.04, updating cloud-init manually from your git branch, and then I click the 'redeploy' option via the portal. I see that the ephemeral disk is partitioned/formatted correctly, but just not mounted. Am I missing some configuration? What is normally responsible for mounting the ephemeral disk once it is formatted?
