Is there an existing issue for this?

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser: latest Chrome
• Local OS: Windows
• Remote OS: RHEL 9
• Remote Architecture: x86_64
• code-server --version: 4.104.2b0992dd with Code 1.104.2

Steps to Reproduce

Our main project folder contains subfolders that make use of autofs + rclone. We do not want code-server attempting to traverse the MANY remote endpoints configured. The solution should be to use VS Code settingsfiles.watcherExclude as implemented frommicrosoft/vscode#150174

I have this setting in both the FOLDER (/files) and Workspace settings, but it appears to be ignored. Or is there another place to best handle this override?

{"files.watcherExclude": {"**/**":true,"**":true,"*":true    }}

That should effectively disable files watching completely. Optimally, I would like to use targeted filtering instead (which also does not have any effect) of globally excluding:

{"files.watcherExclude": {"/*files/cifs/**":true,"/*files/nfs/**":true,"/*files/s3/**":true,"/*files/sftp/**":true    }}

Expected

When I dodf, I should not see any remote filesystems mounted.

Actual

As soon as I open the project workspace, it begins to crawl through all of the folders, which in turn, begins to mount every endpoint to do more crawling -- ugh!!
