The block post is titled "Clean mount lists in Linux" not "Clean block device lists in Linux". I was demonstrating that findmnt can filter the source based on MAJOR:MINOR as a tangential, there was no attempt to "slip" anything in, hence the disclaimer. You are correctly pointing out that it filters only the first loop device and doesn't support globbing. lsblk is clearly the better suited tool for the job you are describing and the reason I said "majority" in my first comment. |

(FWIW, I frankly just didn't like how you flippantly came in and off-handedly dismissed the article without much explanation and by redirecting people to a Linux-specific tool that has a million options that you apparently still have to configure. I found the article quite valuable as it somehow never occurred to me to try to get these tools to filter these crazy Ubuntu devices, and it felt as if--honestly still kind of does--you were viewing the article extremely narrowly, maybe based on just the title.)
