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.
