Thanks for those suggestions, unfortunately I'm in a corporate environment where I am not able to just throw out images and software created by any random company and need to have admin teams build the SOE according to very rigid rules. 

Can I ask once more, in this context, perhaps directed more to the people who have very kindly contributed images so far, for suggestions on what to read.

Thanks again.

I guess whom you want to create optimize images with minimum size in order
to register them in glance, like official images size (e.g. Fedora image:
~151 MB ).

However, you can't achieve that point of science until you don't know what
is FileSystem and How does it works.
Read about these:

   - FileSystems
      - Ext4, Ext3, Ext2, XFS, JFS, ZFS, UnixFS
      - VFS, FUSE, inode, superblock



Cheers,

Muhammed
