I have an Azure Stack Edge Pro (1 GPU) and have built a Ubuntu 20.04 server for a company project. The developer said he needs a larger /usr partition. I explained that when building these systems, the root image in 30 GB in size. While I can mount a separate disk for /usr it becomes tricky as the file system is in use. Plus, I don't have the luxury of booting into single user mode.

Is there any way to build a system on the Azure Stack Edge Pro that has separate file systems or disk?

    Hello @Erick Kendall ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A platform. Happy to answer your question.

    You can create a custom image to use on Edge with a larger root image size. You can also add separate data disk to any image when deploying or after it is deployed.

    Hope this helps!
