How to access hard disk attached to cluster?

Hi,

I am using the VM family Lasv3, which incorporate a NVMe SSD. I would like to take advantage of this huge amount of space but I cannot find where this disk is mounted. Does someone know where this disk is mounted and if it can be used as local driver disk is used (to use commands such as os.listdir, uncompressing zips, etc?

Thanks in advance!

Great question; I've been trying to hunt that down also. `/local_disk0` looks like a good candidate, but it has restricted access and I can't confirm or use.

Would love to learn a solution someday. This is a big need for hybrid workflows & libraries common in my organization. Spark is great for some things, but we also use other frameworks extensively.
