@Stephen, The mount location CAN be changed by setting
- ResourceDisk.Format=y (instead of "n") AND - ResourceDisk.MountPoint=/opt (or any other directory, instead of /mnt) in waagent.conf. The change becomes effective after a shutdown and start-up sequence (and I assume the same applies to a normal restart). The mount location cannot be changed, if and only if ResourceDisk.Format=n. Also note that the ResourceDisk.MountPoint variable in waagent.conf can be blank, in which case the standard mount point will be used by cloud- init, being "/mnt". All the above already leaves the question why ResourceDisk.MountPoint should be present in waagent.conf, given that - most of the work is done by cloud-init and cloud-config settings, - the ResourceDisk.MountPoint is only working in combination with ResourceDisk.Format=y, - the specification of mount points should not be limited to only the resource (ephemeral) disk, and so on. In essence, the Azure Datasource, used by cloud-init, should be able to push some flexible configuration of variables to cloud-init. As a result, a desire to change many variables will require that 1 - a (huge) number of variables is added to waagent.conf, with corresponding code in waagent script, OR 2 - the Azure Datasource should be WRITEABLE, allowing the change of cloud-config settings without specifying CustomData at provisioning time and (therefore) the changed cloud-config settings becoming effective at shut-down and start-up sequences, and, to be honest, the proper and efficient way of doing things should be method 2.
