snap - can't easily access all drives

[daniejstriata]

Hi,

I package ncdu for snap and I see that gdu has the same issue on snap. I can't access all the system's drives. As example, my test system has this config

/dev/mapper/vgmint-root /               ext4    errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/mapper/sda		/Data		ext4	defaults	  0    	  0

When I run gdu from /Data I get the same error as in ncdu.
In /Data:

If I do want to interrogate /Data or any drive mounted to the system (not a USB) I need to browse to /var/lib/snapd/hostfs

Would it make sense to make gdu aware if it is running from snap and if so to use the path above as root?

Thanks for suggestion. I will think about how to solve it.
