Suppose you can mount a disk. How the HA will be managed? Even in AKS, this is not supported.
I have HA services running in AKS using PVC. Kubernetes moves the storage to the node when the container/pod moves to a different node, and you can use sidecars to make sure replication happens
@benc-uk did you check out Service Fabric Reliable Disk volumes?
The current way to map/mount persistent external storage uses Azure Files and therefore SMB, there are platforms and technologies that can't support this, for example MongoDB simply refuses to start as they expect direct and lower level filesystem access
In Kubernetes this is not a problem as Kubernetes supports Azure Disks, and you can easily mount a volume into a container via a Persistent Volume Claim and have that automatically backed with an Azure Disk
Without this, SF Mesh seems quite limited the stateful/database workloads it will be able to support
