Tens of file systems from `$ df -hT`: is it ok?

Question

I was trying to follow this link to check if my system needs a defrag, and I found out this. Is it ok?

$ df -hT

Linux filesystems do not need defragmentation. Only btrfs has the option, but you don't use btrfs. — Marco, Jun 10 '23 at 10:54
Yes it's OK - see Why are all snaps being mounted and listed as block devices or partitions for Ubuntu 18.04? — steeldriver, Jun 10 '23 at 11:43

$ lsblk -ape7 -o+LABEL,FSSIZE,FSUSE% gives you a shorter list of actual disks and partitions with size and used%.

The majority of your list is installed "snap" packages... (including old and disabled)

To somewhat cleanse the snap packages... place this text in a file...

B="$(tput rev)"
R="$(tput sgr 0)"
echo -e "\n${B}Snap updates? Current content/list:${R}"
if [ ! -z "$( which snap)" ] ;then
  snap list --all
  echo -e "\n... list of available updates?"
  snap refresh --list | sed -re 's/\x1B.*\[K//'
  echo -e "\nsnap refresh # doing the actual update."
  sudo snap refresh
  echo -e "\nsnap remove # on 'disabled' items..."
  # https://askubuntu.com/a/1040131/289138
  snap list --all | awk '/disabled/{print $1, $3}' |
    while read snapname revision; do
        sudo snap remove "$snapname" --revision="$revision"
    done
else
  echo -e "'snap' not present."
fi

... then do $ source file

WARNING: excerpt from my update script... untested in this format.

Thanks. What's the warning about? Can I run the script or not? — Py-ser, Jun 11 '23 at 10:22

Tens of file systems from `$ df -hT`: is it ok?
