Hi, everybody!
I just read the mb-status program and saw that filtering disks to monitor is a ToDo task. In the meantime, is there some patch/workaround to stop showing /dev/loop discs? I just hate them XDXDXD (not true), but they annoy me and the real important discs get lost in this list.
Sorry for the nagging, today’s my cats are inside home and they are bothering me!
Hi,
Consider using option -v, --invert-match select non-matching lines e.g.
df -h | grep -v -e 'loop'
I wonder why I don’t see loop devices… Are you using Snaps?
Yes.
Specially for LibreOffice, which has no Report Builder (database report builder using GUI) in crimpled version of Arch.
If I had started with snaps for that, reason, I had to keep it that way (unless AppImage us better option).
Oh, but do you mean doing it outside the Disk Status script from mb-status?
My idea is to still use the mb-status script, that comes as nice utility, thou.
Thanks, anyway 3>
The updated script should filter out loop devices.
@lobaluna thanks for bringing this to my attention, and please let me know if it works
Hi, @napcock.
Has the script been pushed to upstream? I still see those /dev/loop devices in Discs Status menu 
Updated script is available in mabox-tools package since 25-06-04.
Can you please provide some info…
Output of few commands might help.
yay -Qa |grep mabox-tools
whereis mb-status
Also output of your df -kh might help me to test script, as i do not have any loop devices on my system. (And I don’t want to mess up my system by installing snaps.)
I’m sorry for the delay and lack of providing info, previously.
Here it is:
$ yay -Qa | grep mabox-tools
mabox-tools 20250625-1
$ whereis mb-status
mb-status: /usr/bin/mb-status /home/lobaluna/.local/bin/mb-status
$ df -kh

What is this? Probably a copy of an older script version… just delete it and try again.
Oh, that was my attempt to filter the /dev/loop devices… Yes, I completely forgot about it 
Of course, that fixed it immediately!
I’m sorry to be this distracted!
Is it too much to ask if the same filter could be applied to the Places menu (super+dot)? Please, of course.
No problem, I will add it with next update
