Thanks Dell, Drew:  
I ran  
(sspy35\_env) ssqr@SS-HealthPOD:~ $ sudo du -h -d 1 /  
23M /boot  
16K /lost+found  
0 /proc  
164K /dev  
354M /var  
4.0K /mnt  
3.3G /usr  
4.0K /srv  
4.0K /media  
99M /etc  
0 /sys  
8.0M /sbin  
7.5G /home  
8.3M /bin  
248M /lib  
212M /opt  
6.3M /run  
44M /root  
68K /tmp  
12G /

I removed old boot, /var/log/_log_ and gz files files:  
sudo rm -rf /boot.bak boot1  
sudo rm -rf _log_.gz  
sudo rm -rf _log._.gz  
sudo rm -rf _log_  
rm -rf messages  
sudo rm -rf messages  
rm \*.gz  
sudo rm -rf \*.gz  
rm \*.log  
sudo rm \*.log  
history | grep rm

Then here’s the final output of du -h -d 1 /  
(sspy35\_env) ssqr@SS-HealthPOD:/home/ssqr/SSquare/sspy35\_env $ sudo du -h -d 1 /  
23M /boot  
16K /lost+found  
0 /proc  
44K /dev  
354M /var  
4.0K /mnt  
3.3G /usr  
4.0K /srv  
4.0K /media  
99M /etc  
0 /sys  
8.0M /sbin  
7.5G /home  
8.3M /bin  
248M /lib  
212M /opt  
12M /run  
44M /root  
68K /tmp  
12G /  
(sspy35\_env) ssqr@SS-HealthPOD:/home/ssqr/SSquare/sspy35\_env $

And, the image boots! So I didn’t butcher it to its death.

Is there a utility to do such cleanup to run as part of the mender-convert?

What values should I configure the mender parameters with?

Greatly appreciate your guidance.

Regards,  
Raj
