[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Louis Bouchard (louis-bouchard):

SRU justification :
Maas plugin collects more data than required.

Impact : 
Without this fix, the size of the collected output get become huge (multi-Gb)

Fix : 
Restrict the collected directories.

Test Case : 
On a Maas server with many installation images installed, running the fixed version will not collect the large files in /var/lib/maas/ephemeral and/or /var/lib/maas/tftp

Regression : 
None expected.

Original description of the problem :

When ran on a machine running as a maas cluster controller, putting the
content of /var/lib/maas in the sosreport copy all the fast installer
and regular iso images used to deploy vm. As a result, the archive turns
to be around 3Gb of size.
