Container overlays shouldn't be listed in Disks

[sinus-x]

Page: Overview > View metrics and history > Disks

The Disks widget (?) shows a /var/lib/containers/storage/overlay/.../merged entry for every podman mount. It spams the small area and prevents you from seeing an overview of hardware that's mounted on the system. They should be filtered out, since they don't provide any additional value.

Thanks -- yes, that makes sense. I wonder if we should generally filter out all overlayfs mounts? The podman ones are definitively noise, I'm less sure about admin-mounted ones -- they may still be useful to see which ones are running out of space.
