Reindl,

there is really no need to word your questions the way you are doing. I
will ban you from this mailing list if you don't stop being so dramatic
and insulting.

The simple fact is that systemd was merely the messenger of something
that has changed in the kernel long ago. Don't yell at the messenger.

To me it appears that the right fix is to patch df to coalesce the lines
of the various mount points of the same backing fs. it should just show
them as the rightmost column, comma separated, and if there are too
many, it should just allipsize the list instead of showing them all.

Anyway, this is mostly something between coreutils and the kernel, and
the way how df parses and presents the information of the
kernel. systemd has no role in this. Please (politely!) ask the
coreutils maintainers to coalesce mounts like this.

Try being constructive for once: if there's an itch you really want to
have scratched then there's always the option to just fix it yourself
and send a patch upstream. This is how open source works, after all.

Anyway, please stop posting things in the style you are posting them in
here. This is not LKML, and in contrast to LKML we do not reward
insulting people here.
