2 weeks ago Given my plan to remove the inspect view once the file manager got into a usable shape, I'd rather not extend the current mechanism.
That said, we could/should contemplate a nice way to cover your need in a different way. E.g., by allowing the leitzentrale user to create a vfs component where one can select the mounted file systems as checkboxes. I have planned to work on the dynamic vfs reconfiguration at the end of the year (according to our road map). An interactively composable vfs would be a nice user-visible application of this work.

Currently, there is no easy way to access arbitrary USB sticks/storages from within system_shell or any other customised unix-like shell. I therefore end up using Sculpt's inspect view, which, however, provides only a limited set of tools. By separating the vfs part from the inspect sub-init, we could provide a route to this vfs in Sculpt to other components such as system_shell.
Related to this: It would also be nice to have a way to "automount" (i.e. auto-inspect) particular file systems at boot. In my case, I have an additional nvme partition that stores my VMs.
