Adding secondary disks to Btop monitoring

Hello! So I have been using Btop as my defacto "Task manager". But I have run into a strange issue that I suspect is Bazzite related. Wile going through the Btop option I see there is a way to filter disk for the Disk pane. But for whatever reason it would seem as though Btop is not able to or being allowed to see my secondary disk. I'm assuming that by default Btop just lists every disk it can see, and thus is just not able. But if not I'm assuming the full mount path that it asks for would be /run/media/system/Sabrent_4TB_EXT4 as /var does work.
Solution:
try to disable the fstab reading first

how did you install btop? i'm using btop from within an arch distrobox for example, and in .config/btop/btop.conf i have to disable fstab reading+manually add the secondary drive in my case its /var/mnt/drive-name

(Now if only there was a single "Task Manger" that showed IO use by process... but I digress)
