[Bug 1805468] Re: Snap mounts bloat system footprint by inactive apps
For the clutter in 'mount', you could add '-t nosquashfs' to the options, either directly or via an alias. While you're at it maybe include nocgroup, and possibly notmpfs in there. Having alias mount='mount -t nosquashfs,nocgroup' in ~/.bash_aliases is probably the easiest thing. 'findmnt' (or, if you're still using it, 'df') has similar options that you can set to ignore things you don't want to see in the output. As for the 'conquer system resources' bit, I ask you again if you've measured a difference, or if you're just making assumptions. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805468 Title: Snap mounts bloat system footprint by inactive apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1805468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

We have a long term plan of actually mounting the apps that you run and not those that are merely installed. This won’t happen overnight and is not a high priority item but it will eventually happen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805468 Title: Snap mounts bloat system footprint by inactive apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1805468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1805468] Re: Snap mounts bloat system footprint by inactive apps
The issue so far is that the output of "mount" is cluttered by an annoying amount of entries not of any use to my daily routines with "mount". As snapd is now somewhat in a testing phase, and on long term considered to replace a large amount of apt packages I guess, this list would grow on. Also some snapd applications seem to grow mount entries on updates, eg. they have multiple overlays mounted for the same application. Applications 'installed' on a Linux system ususally clutter the mass storage filesystem and, for desktop applications, the launcher panes / menus. This sounds feasable. Applications that are not used (never or rarely run) conquer no system ressources despite hard disk space and launcher icons (for desktop apps). Now, in a more and more snapd-based world, never used applications conquer memory, mounted fs enumaration time, startup time, filter time for all users of 'mount' output (including precious human mind ressources), etc. This is a way back the MS Windows style where almost every installed application impairs the system in some other place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1805468 Title: Snap mounts bloat system footprint by inactive apps To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapd/+bug/1805468/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1805468] Re: Snap mounts bloat system footprint by inactive apps
Have you _measured_ a performance impact due to just having things mounted? Beyond a delay at boot (which is something worth fixing, but doesn't seem to be your main issue), we have not been able to measure a difference. We did find bugs in the kernel and have fixed them though.

Actually I was surprised by seeing gnome-calculator coming at at `mount`s output.
