Comment on Mysterious Loop Devices in Disk manager on plex server

If the backing files are referencing “snapd”, then it seems plausible that these are the sandbox filesystems for software packaged using the Snap environment.

Okay, I have used snap to install things before but it never generated these faux disks that I can’t seem to delete. Would you guess that it is a temporary issue and a restart should resolve? (haven’t restarted yet because I have been using the audiobookshelf and plex and haven’t scheduled a maintenance window yet)

What makes you think it’s an issue? What problem is it causing? You can probably identify which snap they belong to.

I don’t know for certain that these unexpected devices in my disk manager are causing the issue, but I noticed them at the same time as the issue with libation being unable to access the directory it normally uses and so I may be conflating 2 unrelated issues
I believe you are conflating two unrelated things. Snap regularly creates those devices, it’s normal, required for snaps to work, and nothing to worry about at all.
