Add extra temporary drive to AVD

We would like to have the possibility to add an extra temporary drive to an AVD. We have some programs which produce a lot of temporary data that is only needed during the user session. To prevent the OS disk from flooding we would like an extra (D:) drive for temporary storage on a AVD.

Hi Arland

I just have a quick question. Why don't you use a VM that already has a temporary disk? There are VM SKUs that have a temp disk by default, which is where the page file is located. I often use these for multi-user systems to take some of the load off the system disk (pagefile will automatically be placed there). You could also store this temporary data there. The data may be lost when you restart, but it will be lost when you shut down and restart, which is what temporary data is meant to be.
