Thanks for the report.  I'll push the following patch soon.
I'm marking this bug as "done".

Regarding the use of the word "disk": I think that's a general problem,
because df is not working with "disks" but rather with "file systems".
The underlying hardware (SATA disk, SSD, RAID, whatsoever) is not relevant
here.  I think that needs further discussion.

Have a nice day,
Berny
