Once you create a Linux VM in Azure, it has two disks associated with it. **/dev/sda** is your OS disk, **/dev/sdb** is your temporary disk. Do not use the main OS disk (**/dev/sda**) for anything except the operating system as it is optimized for fast VM boot time and does not provide good performance for your workloads. You want to attach one or more disks to your VM to get persistent and optimized storage for your data.

## Adding Disks for Size and Performance targets
33-
Based on the VM size, you can attach up to 16 additional disks on an A-Series, 32 disks on a D-Series and 64 disks on a G-Series machine - each up to 1 TB in size. You add extra disks as needed per your space and IOps requirements. Each disk has a performance target of 500 IOps for Standard Storage and up to 5000 IOps per disk for Premium Storage.

To achieve the highest IOps on Premium Storage disks where their cache settings have been set to either **ReadOnly** or **None**, you must disable **barriers** while mounting the file system in Linux. You do not need barriers because the writes to Premium Storage backed disks are durable for these cache settings.
