It is not currently possible to do this. A [generic filtering mechanism](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/451) is being added, but Topbeat doesn't report the fIlesystem type. This hasn't been requested before so please open an [enhancement request](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new?labels=enhancement) in the project.
