Initialize empty data disks

Hi,

I've created a new empty data disk using my ARM template and I saw that I can initialize the new disk using a script containing a PS command but that doesn't seems to be a "clean" way...

I'd like for the new disk to be initialized automatically without the need to run the script (add some parameters to the template?), is there any way to do so?

Thanks

Start with the 101-vm-multiple-data-disk template linked in the issue and review how its empty data disk is provisioned. Compare that flow with the mentioned PowerShell initialization script and determine whether automatic initialization can be configured in the template. Done means the template initializes the new disk without a separate script, or clearly documents the limitation and supported approach.
