Blkid flooded with dev/loop

General Help
1

Hi
I'm using Zorin Lite with dual boot Manjaro XFCE and other partition for data.

  • sda1 is Zorin
  • sda2 is Manjaro
  • sda3 is partition for data files
  • sda4 is swap

When I run command blkid I get all these dev/loop entries.
How to sort this out?
I run the same command when in Manjaro and do not get these dev/loop stuff.

Thanks

Do you use several SnapD Snap packages?

I have installed some Snap apps, yes.

There is the cause of those loops. :wink:
