GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 514703
Implement exclusion by filesystem type
Last modified: 2021-05-26 09:26:30 UTC
Baobab does not support exclusion of scanning by filesystem type (nfs,lofs,devfs, procfs,sysfs,...). In automounted environments with many mounted filesystems, exclusion by directory list is not possible since directories appear while scanning, and disappear after a short time, which leads to a scan/stop/exclude/scan cycle, with already excluded directories reappearing again during next scan since they've disappeared in the meantime. Exclusion by filesystem type would solve this problem easily for such environments.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Baobab, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/baobab/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
