From [1] we support a few common and vendor specific disk format, as use
raw image sometimes will be very big and do we have existing any method to
consider zip the raw disk so the disk space might be saved as an option to
offer to end user and admin  ? so something like [2] could be enhanced to
support zipped format?
Thanks
