Public bug reported: On Windows Azure, the ephemeral disk should be treated as ephemeral per boot, not per instance.
Microsoft has informed us that under the following conditions an ephemeral disk may disappear: 1. The user resizes the instance 2. A fault causes the instance to move from one physical host to another 3. A machine is shutdown and then started again Essentially, on Azure, the ephemeral disk is extremely ephemeral. Users who hit any of the above situations are discovering that /mnt is mount with their default NTFS file system.
