Darn... aren't you just right! Now all my stats have been messed up! =)
(was keeping MRTG stats over my hard disk usage)

Well I checked which package "df" belonged to and it came up with
"fileutils-4.0x-3", i.e. not "util-linux".

Anyway, try "df -ha" (according to the manual: -a, --all ;  include
filesystems having 0 blocks).

I'll check into updates to df/fileutils, and maybe make a patch.
