Disks shows all mounted snaps

[Will Cooke]

* Impact
In 16.04 and later any installed snaps show as loop devices in Disks.

* Test Case
- install a snap
- open gnome-disks
-> the snap shouldn't be listed on the left pane as a device

* Regression potential
Check that all your existing disks are still listed

It also clutters the output of 'mount', 'df', etc. to the point where the useful stuff scrolls off the screen...

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Please find attached the gnome-disk-utility's debdiff for bionic.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the udisks change looks good but please mention the libmount updated requirement in the changelog with its reason

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

can you also update the .symbols to list the new udisks_block_get_userspace_mount_options? ;-)

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

Please find attached the udisks2's debdiff for Bionic.

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

Considering that the above fix will only work for newly installed snaps I'm attaching another debdiff (valid both for bionic and for artful) to workaround this problem.

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

I've prepared also a workaround for xenial considering that xenial ships with an older version of libmount1.

Installed a 16.04 VM, installed some snaps, opened disks, saw that there were lots of snaps listed.
Enabled proposed and upgraded, rebooted, opened disks again and all the snaps were not show. Much better!

[Will Cooke (willcooke)]

Ditto Artful.
