Created attachment 147911 [details] KDiskFree showing 16 so-called snap devices SUMMARY KDiskFree (and System Settings -> Storage Devices) shows too much information in the form of snap "devices" that are always 100% full, crowding out other useful information. Suggestion that all "snap" loop devices be hidden; technical people can easily find them on the command line. GUI users will be put off by the clutter and alarmed that there's so much 100% full "devices". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open KDiskFree OBSERVED RESULT On my KDE neon system, I count 16 /dev/loop* "devices" and only two actual, true devices that are storage-related. EXPECTED RESULT These many /dev/loop "snap" devices are devices in only the loosest sense. They are distracting from what a non-developer user is looking to find from a program that calls itself KDiskFree (or System Settings -> Storage Devices). These loop devices are not storage, they are snap technical things masquerading as devices. WISH Hide all /dev/loop "devices" that are mounted under /snap. They are crowding out useful information that a non-technical person is looking to find. Also may be useful to find if there's other loop devices that are similar to these snaps.
