I have a VM with 200GB local SSD on Windows Azure.
When I want to use 100GB of it, a "Disk Quote Exceed Error" message is appeared. I can see that my home ( or root) directory is 30GB from the table below ( which is output of df -Th
)
So how can I make the disk space /dev/sdb1 available to use in my home directory?

As David Makogon said, the /dev/sdb1
is temporary disk. This temporary disk must not be used to store data that you are not willing to lose. The temporary disk is present on the physical machine that is hosting your VM.
More information about Azure temporary disk, please refer to this blog.
In your scenario, we can attach new disk to your VM, we can follow the link you mentioned in the comment.
