Disk- Creating a new disk only respects drive letter param

[eschrader]

    WaitForDisk Disk2
    {
         DiskId = 2
         RetryIntervalSec = 60
         RetryCount = 60
    }
    Disk FVolume
    {
         DiskId = 2
         DriveLetter = 'F'
         FSLabel = 'DATA'
         FSFormat = 'NTFS'
         AllocationUnitSize = 64KB
         DependsOn = '[WaitForDisk]Disk2'
    }

This code keeps creating a drive F (no label) in File System format RAW with full capacity. Why does it not apply the label?

Actually, I just waited about 27 minutes and its all fixed now it looks like. Maybe it just takes a long time?

Hi @eschrader - it shouldn't usually take that long to partition and format a disk. It usually takes under 10 seconds. Was the disk a virtual disk? Could you ask DSC to output the verbose logs as that should tell us the particular disk task that is taking so long (e.g. the initialization, partitioning, volume creation).

Yea I am using an Azure IaaS VM with a new data disk. I was using Azure Automation, so maybe that's why it took so long.
