Disks status

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
