Dan, thanks for the recreate description. I'd never been aware of 'quick-create'. I'd built another wrapper around the azure cli to do something similar. https://gist.github.com/smoser/5806147
I think that the crux of the issue here is in the change to systemd we do not block mounts from happening while 'cloud-init-local' and 'cloud- init' units are running. Because of this, I think that while cloud-init deciding to format or not, the old entry in /etc/fstab gets used, the filesystem gets mounted as ntfs, and then the attempt at mkfs fails (as seen in the log). I'll poke a bit more. Thanks for the cli instructions.
