So the good news is that it's not really a problem. What you really want
is the mountpoint if it exists and the device otherwise right ?
Then my suggestion will do just that becuase awk will separate the fieds
with FS (field separator) which by default is a single space. But space
is special in awk becuase the fields will be separated by a runs of
space, so if you pick the fileds just right you'll get what you want.
So if I run this on my system
# lsblk -o MOUNTPOINT,NAME,FSTYPE -p -n -l `lvs -o lv_path -S lv_active=active,lv_role=public,lv_role!=snapshot,vg_free\>256 --noheadings`
I'll get

hence I get mountpoin where the volume is mounted and the device where
it is not. That's what we need right ?
What I did not consider was [SWAP] but we can get rid of that easily.
grep -v '[SWAP]'

That can be dealt with as well as well just by grepping for ' ext[234]$'
So in the end we'll have something like
# lsblk -o MOUNTPOINT,NAME,FSTYPE -p -n -l `lvs -o lv_path -S lv_active=active,lv_role=public,lv_role!=snapshot,vg_free\>256 --noheadings` | grep -v '[SWAP]' | grep ' ext[234]$' | awk '{print $1}'
and so on my system this gives me
/mnt/kernel
/dev/mapper/vg_perpetuum-lvol001
/dev/mapper/vg_perpetuum-overlay
/dev/mapper/vg_perpetuum-test0
/dev/mapper/vg_perpetuum-test10
/dev/mapper/vg_perpetuum-test11
/dev/mapper/vg_perpetuum-test3
/dev/mapper/vg_perpetuum-test4
/dev/mapper/vg_perpetuum-test9
/dev/mapper/vg_perpetuum-testing
And leaving out mounted file systems is again as simple as
grep -v '^/dev/'
Have I missed something ?
Now for the performance. I drop caches, then run each twice
the ls_scan_targets function runs
real 0m0.575s
user 0m0.086s
sys 0m0.179s
real 0m0.241s
user 0m0.088s
sys 0m0.169s
My one-line suggestion runs
real 0m0.275s
user 0m0.027s
sys 0m0.047s
real 0m0.069s
user 0m0.015s
sys 0m0.052s
So the difference is significant, although I would not consider it
meaningful since it's really low anyway, but some people complained so I
guess someone cares and people do have different systems so...

Yes Fedora does have it, but I agree that adding this dependency is not
ideal.
