Public bug reported:

When an attempt is made to format a block device directly on a cloud
platform like Azure as below, this attempt fails as follows:

fs_setup:
  - label: data
    device: /dev/sdc
    filesystem: ext4

2016-02-23 11:01:50,344 - util.py[WARNING]: Failed during filesystem operation
Failed to exec of '['/sbin/mkfs.ext4', '/dev/sdc', '-L', 'data']':
Unexpected error while running command.
Command: ['/sbin/mkfs.ext4', '/dev/sdc', '-L', 'data']
Exit code: 1
Reason: -
Stdout: '/dev/sdc is entire device, not just one partition!\nProceed anyway? (y,n) '
Stderr: 'mke2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)\n'

It looks like the -F option needs to be added to mkfs.ext4 to force mkfs
to be non-interactive.
