Bug ID: 452197
Summary: KDiskFree shows too much useless information from snap
loop devices
Product: kdf
Version: 21.12.3

OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

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.
