I'm glad to hear that next release addresses the problem somewhat.
However, from the commit it looks like it is only tackling the "uuid"
issue and not a general problem where:
- Any mounted directory could be verly long
Although my bug report was primarily triggered by seeing the uuid
paths, I'd like to propose these options (-X, -r) to tackle a more
generic problem of:
path first, calculations next on the same line
An example. I have other mounted directories that are *very* long:
/mnt/extent/development/src/project/ ...
It's just not the "uuid" lines that are problematic.
Especially the --reverse option would solve lot of these long path
issues.
