"pseude" should read "pseudo".
By the way, the page refers in a lot of places to disk space and disks in general. This will need generalization now that SSDs are getting mainstream.

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
