The mount location can be reconfigured in the waagent.conf file, after
provisioning of the VM.

A shut-down and start-up sequence is required, in order to let the
changed settings become effective.

It is not desirable and/or advisable to change partitioning and/or mount
locations on creation time.

It is also not desirable and/or advisable to change partitioning of the
resource (ephemeral) disk, given the fact that this disk is not really
intended for persistent data storage and the fact that one minor change
in settings (changing ResourceDisk.Format=n to ResourceDisk.Format=y)
will result in a loss of all data and partitioning settings (!).

When requiring a (persistent) data disk, please attach an additional
data disk (with all freedom available, for custom configuration of
partitioning and/or mount points).

Kind regards....
