df (1p)              - report free disk space

damned - i have ONE /dev/md2
if i want to list mounts i typ "mount" and NOT "disk free"

as example where it is UNUSABLE:
having > 100 mounts on a machine (chroots for sftp-users)
and login to the vmware-console where you have NO scrollbar

"df" is UNUSEABLE in such cases because you see NOTHING without
helper programs like more, grap, less....

it does NOT amtter what other systems are doing and done in
the past - fedora was able to provide a useable "df" output
for many years until systemd came and so it is a step BACKWARDS
