Skip NFS mounts

[greg-hamonic-public]

Feature enhancement request to have the scanner auto-skip NFS mounted filesystems.

[jgstew]

Especially on Linux, getting the scanner to automatically skip remote mounts, NFS or CIFS or otherwise would be helpful.

Otherwise if you run this from many Linux devices at once, you can bring down your file shares if you don't exclude them.

On windows it is less difficult to get the set of fixed disks to add to the --drives command to run, but even there it could be useful as a precaution.

I will address this issue in the next release.

Alternatively, I'd recommend a --same-filesystem option like find's -xdev With this option, you could target / and automatically not deal with crossing into strange mounts like /run, /sys, /proc, /home, etc.

@greg-hamonic-public @jgstew @jpvlsmv Would you test v1.7.0 release? NFS will be ignored by default. You can change behavior using --exclude-fs option.

I am missing probably something, but how can I enable now NFS scanning? I couldn't find any option.

@xeraph by the way, thanks a lot for that tool.

@vongillus You can redefine using --exclude-fs tmpfs,devtmpfs,iso9660 or simply --exclude-fs none

OK, your comment above now makes sense, I need a coffee! Thanks
