# Why I did it
Reduce the disk space taken up during bootup and runtime.
# How I did it
1. Remove python package cache from the base image and from the containers.
2. During bootup, if logs are to be stored in memory, then don't create the `var-log.ext4` file just to delete it later during bootup.
3. For the partition containing `/host`, don't reserve any blocks for just the root user. This just makes sure all disk space is available for all users, if needed during upgrades (for example).
* Remove pip2 and pip3 caches from some containers
Only containers which appeared to have a significant pip cache size are
included here.

#### Why I did it
The test plan described in the `How to verify it` section caused an issue when 3 images (instead of 2) were present when executing `show boot` or `sonic-installer list` commands:
```
root@sonic:/home/admin# show boot
Current: SONiC-OS-master.0-dirty-20220118.165941
Next: SONiC-OS-master.0-dirty-20220118.165941
Available:
SONiC-OS-master.0-dirty-20220118.165941
SONiC-OS-202012.201-a0376a6e5_Internal
SONiC-OS-202012.201-a0376a6e5_Internal_RPC
```
#### How I did it
Fixed the `sed` pattern to match the current image revision in the `install.sh` script.
#### How to verify it
Test plan:
1. Install the `imageA` by using ONIE
2. Install the `imageA-rpc` by using `sonic-installer`
3. Reboot the switch
4. Swap to the `imageA` - `sonic-installer set-default imageA`
5. Reboot the switch
6. Install the `imageB` by using `sonic-installer`
7. Check an installed images - `show boot`
8. Reboot the switch
9. Check an installed images - `show boot`
Why I did it
Provide onie image install verification
How I did it
Add devices folder based on platform_asic and check if current platform inside the list
How to verify it
In onie env, install a bin image which differs the running platform's ASIC. For example;
install sonic-broadcom.bin to mellanox ASIC platform
install sonic-vs.bin to broadcom ASIC platform
#### Why I did it
while sonic upgrade, Image will be extracted to tmpfs for installation so tmpfs size should be larger than image size. Image installation will fail if image size is larger than tmpfs size.
we are facing below error while installing debug image with size greater than tmpfs which is 1.5g in marvell armhf platform.

#### How I did it
compare downloaded image size with tmpfs size, if size less than image size update the tmpfs size according to image size.
#### How to verify it
Install an Image with size larger than tmpfs. we verified by installing debug image with size 1.9gb which is larger than tmpfs size 1.5gb.
This improvement reads current SONiC version directly from `/proc/cmdline`.
it supports `grub/aboot/uboot` bootloaders.
**Code snippet**:
```bash
cat /proc/cmdline | sed -n 's/^.*loop=\/*image-\(\S\+\)\/.*$/\1/p'
```
**Description**:
```
-n don't print lines
s substitute
^.* matches anything before the <image_version>
loop= matches <loop> kernel parameter
\/*image- matches <image_version> prefix
\(\S\+\) matches <image_version> group and assigns it to \1
\/.*$ matches anything after the <image_version>
\1 replace everything with <image_version>
p print it
```

Encounter error when install SONiC image if there are some onie_discovery variables assigned with multiple values inside machine.conf
- How I did it
Replace original ". /machine.conf" method and add another function to do the same thing.
- How to verify it
Add a item inside /host/machine.conf like onie_disco_ntpsrv=10.254.141.10 10.254.141.131
Do sonic_installer install to check if any error occurs
In order to install a SONiC image on top of a NVMe SSD disc properly with ONIE we must configure it properly on the installer.sh script.

Usually for a use case like networking - should not be configured to reach c6, the maximum used is c1e – due to the added latency getting in & out of states (bad for networking).
Following a recommendation by Intel, networking system should avoid getting in & out of states which introduce latency. The recommended state is c1e and no state change enabling.
In addition, c-state sole purpose is to save power and when inside a networking switch its really negligent being such a tiny consumer vs. the whole cluster.

moving to initramfs unifies disk allocate on different platforms.
use fallocate instead of dd to speed up the disk allocation.
By default, mkfs.ext4 has -E discard option which discards the blocks
at the mkfs time, also speed up the initialization time.
1. "make target/sonic-broadcom.raw" will create the compressed dd'able image.
2. This will also update the grub config files (device/dell/*/nos_to_sonic_grub.cfg) with the image versions.
