Additional Context

This seems to be some issue with naming which Azure did not like. Any name other then AWENEUWVEDIAD01-disk1.vhd is accepted to upload but if file is named exactly like that it fails to upload through any tools to Azure (including UI)

I assume your VHD is aligned on the 512-byte boundary? Page blobs are a collection of 512-byte pages optimized for random read and write operations. The maximum size for a page blob is 8 TB. Can you please confirm?

[artisticcheese]

I'm not sure what that means but as you can see it's not VHD itself but naming of the file which contributed to the issue. If file was named a certain way it would immediately fail with HTTP 409.

[jinglouMSFT]

I renamed one of my VHD with the name you had issue with, mine uploaded just fine.

[artisticcheese]

Ok, something must be in my account but this is definetely name related and not actual content. Error at the very minimum is misleading.

Works after renaming the VHD to all lowercases. Also, I had to remove hyphens. Weird!

[edneville]

Was there an existing Block Blob before you did the append? If so, the write will fail. You have to create an Append Blob in order to write append blocks to it.

I too was getting the "blob type is invalid" error until I renamed the file to all lower case.
