The Azure Linux agent must be able to mount the UDF file system to read its configuration and provision the VM. At first boot on Azure the provisioning configuration is passed to the Linux VM via UDF-formatted media that is attached to the guest. Kernel support for mounting UDF file systems is required.This will avoid LVM name conflicts with cloned VMs, particularly if an OS disk ever needs to be attached to another identical VM for troubleshooting. When installing the Linux system it is recommended that you use standard partitions rather than LVM (often the default for many installations).If you are using VirtualBox this means selecting Fixed size as opposed to the default dynamically allocated when creating the disk. You can convert the disk to VHD format using Hyper-V Manager or the convert-vhd cmdlet. The VHDX format is not supported in Azure, only fixed VHD.Please see also General Linux Installation Notes for more tips on preparing Linux for Azure.
