Hello, and thank you in advance for your help!
I'm trying to create ubuntu VM server for hosting a database.
I created A4 (Extra Large) instance, and installed the database and it works.
the problem is, that my default disk has only 29 GB of storage:
azureuser@couchpoc:/var/log$ df -hFilesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 29G 19G 9.0G 68% /
udev 6.9G 12K 6.9G 1% /dev
tmpfs 1.4G 260K 1.4G 1% /run
none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
none 6.9G 0 6.9G 0% /run/shm
/dev/sdb1 237G 188M 225G 1% /mnt
/dev/sdc1 99G 188M 94G 1% /couchdrive
How can i use my full storage capacity? according to the pricing page, i suppose to have 127 disk GB and not just 29 GB:

Moreover, how can i add extra disk storage? according to this page i have another 270 GB Temporary storage, but its not that helpful when speaking of Database since i need persistence (i can't loose my data on every restart of the server).
there must be a solution for database's VM with more disk storage (also- is it possible to use SSD?)..
i attached another empty disk of 100 GB from the management console, and i can see it in the "hd -f" (the "/couchdrive"). but its another mount, and not the default OS.
is it considered good just as the default disk for installs such as DB? if so, i would appreciate it if someone can help me install on this drive, since when i'm doing "apt-get install.." the default is the 29 GB drive and not my 100 GB mount i just attached.
Thanks a lot!
