Hi Richard There are two different file operations: copy the image from its current path to the image repository, and the copy of that image to the execution host.
Since you are using tm_shared, the image files won't be copied for each deployment if they are persistent. As you pointed out, the image will still be copied once to the image repository, but this can be customized. The image repository drivers are located in /var/lib/one/remotes/image/fs/. You can edit the '/var/lib/one/remotes/image/fs/cp' file to change the 'cp' commands to 'mv'.
