The only reason I created the bugzilla entry is to attach the tarball of the traces, assuming that it would allow me to upload a 20 MB file (since email attachment didn't work). But bugzilla's file restriction is much smaller than that, so it didn't work out either, and I resorted to using dropbox. So we don't need the bugzilla entry anymore; I might as well close it to avoid confusion. Regards, Srivatsa VMware Photon OS
