Inhibit the Auto-Discovery of "cached memory" and "shared memory" in Linux Systems

When we auto-discover Linux systems we have both shared memory and cached memory disks in the device; however, we do not want to discover these components.

At the moment we can only select the options listed under Auto discovery -> volumes tab ( choose what to monitor). Currently the auto-discovery feature allows a user to select/deselect the following options:

Compact Disk
Fixed Disk
Flash Memory
Floppy Disk
Mount Point
NetworkDisk
Other
RAM
RAMDisk
Removable Disk
Unknown
Virtual Memory

Since the options for excluding the "cached memory" and "shared memory" are not listed under this choose what to monitor menu, every Linux system we monitor/discover adds these memory types.

Can we inhibit the discovery/listing of "cached memory" and "shared memory" components?

Alternatively, an actual filter for volumes similar to the filter on the Interfaces step of the import process.

This is the case for FWs and other device types as well and would be helpful to have a way to filter these out with the auto-discoveries or scheduled discoveries MONITORING SETTINGS Screen > "Automatic monitor based on my defined monitoring settings" settings should match up so can filter out volumes that are for example always full and are not changing so they don't alway have to look like there is a critical problem

Looks like Discovery Volume "Other" is they way to go.
