Feature request: ignore /snap mountpoint in filesystem collector #1283

@paol

Description

@paol

Linux systems that run snap apps (which modern Ubuntu does by default) mount read-only loop devices under /snap. There is at least one mount per snap application, which causes lots of spam in all sorts of systems that look at mounted filesystems, node_exporter being no exception.

Since there is nothing of interest to see in these filesystems it would be nice if /snap were added to the default value of collector.filesystem.ignored-mount-points.

EDIT: It might be a possibility to make a broader exclusion and ignore all mounts of type squashfs. This would cover snap apps as a side effect. I haven't been able to think of a scenario where you would want to monitor this type of mount, if no one else can either then this may be a more general solution.
