# 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.

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.
