Feature: option to stay within the same filesystem #23

Like du's -x option: File system mount points are not traversed.. This would be useful for scanning / and ignoring external drives.

Here is an example on how dua does it and how this knowledge is used to filter entries.

Maybe this helps to get the functionality faster.

On a side-note, there is also examples about how to not double-count hardlinks.

imsnif commented 4 years ago

That's something I must admit I did not consider, and it is a very good point. I think adding it as a command line flag (-x in order to mirror du's functionality sounds good) would be a great feature.

@imsnif just checking, would it be worth my time giving this a shot?

imsnif commented 3 years ago

Hey @skuzzymiglet - my apologies but I don't have a whole lot of time for diskonaut these days. I hope to get back here and do some upkeeping in the near future, but I can't promise when. So I wouldn't want you to waste your time :/
