Why can't df readily be persuaded not to show filesystems for which storage isn't an issue? I'm thinking of mnttab, fd, proc, objfs, ctfs, and anything else like that with 0 blocks of storage; and probably also of lofs mounts, since the real storage isn't associated with them. That would cut the clutter in the default output, allowing one to more easily see actual or potential space issues.
Short of modifying automountd to set ignore tag (or option on the fd filesystem) for specified filesystem types (and doing something uniform in terms of ignore as an option vs a non-option tag - presently it's only an option on autofs and fd, and settable as a mnttab tag on everything else), it seems to me the minimal change would be to modify df to be configurable to ignore certain filesystem types (a new /etc/default/df file, maybe), unless -a was given, or -F fstype or a pathname were given to explicitly request information that would otherwise not be presented. As long as the list of filesystem types to ignore (barring some contrary command line usage) were configurable, it shouldn't be an issue of breaking user scripts - the supplied configuration file could be empty; and hopefully it shouldn't be hard to find and fix any scripts that are part of Solaris that depend on the present behavior. Is there anyone else that would like by default not to see non-space-related output from df?
