30 Hi Dale,
31
32 Please use --log-level=minimal option to collect minimal info. Please let me know if it still contains some unwanted info in this minimal mode.

34 I'll patch the tool to collect less info by default in 1.5 (you'll need to explicitly set --log-level=maximal to collect mountpoints).
35
36 Thanks a lot!
