Interesting. To be honest i find the behavior of df -h much more annoying. Here is my PC:

Code:
# df -h
Filesystem                 Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev                        63G     0   63G   0% /dev
tmpfs                       13G   11M   13G   1% /run
/dev/mapper/rootvg-rootlv  9.8G  5.6G  3.7G  61% /
tmpfs                       63G  168K   63G   1% /dev/shm
tmpfs                      5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs                       63G     0   63G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/rootvg-altrlv  9.8G  8.2G  1.2G  88% /altroot
/dev/mapper/rootvg-homelv  9.8G  2.4G  7.0G  25% /home
/dev/mapper/rootvg-imglv    49G  6.5G   41G  14% /opt/images
/dev/sda1                  511M  4.6M  507M   1% /boot/efi
tmpfs                       13G   16K   13G   1% /run/user/1000

First: I would like to see the filesystems not all sorts of gimmicks. The output of mount is equally unusable, because ones wades through lists of "virtual filesystems", which are no filesystems at all.

But what takes the biscuit is the different units in which the output is formatted: MB, GB and even KB all mixed together and you have no immediate picture what is filled to which extent. In AIX i use df -g and know what i want to know within a second.
