This PR adds a new build step called "CompactDisk", which make a virtual disk image compaction. It happens in the end of build process.
How it works
It executes two commands:
prl_disk_tool compact --hdd <path_to_disk>- Analyzes the disk content and removes unused blocks. It could take no effect if the guest filesystem could not be analyzed by "prl_disk_tool".prl_disk_tool compact --hdd <path_to_disk> --buildmap- Doesn't do any analyze and just removes null blocks.It allows to minimize the result image, which is important for Vagrant boxes in particular.
Configure
This feature is enabled by default. It could be switched off with
skip_compactionoption.Test stend
I've verified this feature with
vagrantpost-processor, with "bento" templates on Parallels Desktop Pro 11.0.1 (31275).
