how to add data disk to a Linux Virtual machine
This video shows you how to attach both new and existing disks to a Linux virtual machine through the Azure portal.
The size of the virtual machine controls how many data disks you can attach. Disks attached to virtual machines are actually .vhd files stored in Azure. After attaching the disk, you need to connect to the Linux VM to mount the new disk.
Steps for mount the disk
