Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how node_exporter scrapes filesystem metrics and look for existing exclusion configuration. Clarify how device-name matching should work for /dev/loop0, then add focused coverage; done means that device's filesystem metrics are not scraped without excluding unrelated devices.
