Description

Like du's -x option: File system mount points are not traversed.. This would be useful for scanning / and ignoring external drives.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the filesystem traversal code in src/ and identify where to add a check for mount point boundaries. Consider using the 'same file system' crate or platform specific syscalls.
