Just for info: df in openSUSE-13.1 is currently identical to that
in coreutils-v8.21.

The above is the result of df suppressing duplicate entries like
bind mounts.  This filtering is done based on the device number.
As this example shows, a few exports of directories of the same file
system from "host" are mounted - yet it's the same file system.

We already had a few discussions about this filtering of duplicate
mount entries. For me, this example shows that the current implementation
is not that bad because df's job is to show block and inode usage
statistics about mounted file systems.  When it comes to information
about mount points, then I think findmnt(1) from util-linux is
the right tool.

I'm therefore tagging this bug as "notabug" and mark it as done.
If you or someone else wants to continue this discussion, then
this can of course be done in this thread. And if someone has
the *golden* idea how to solve this problem, then just stand up
and let use know.

Have a nice day,
Berny

The df command as distributed with OpenSuSE 13.1 -- package 
coreutils-8.21-7.8.1.x86_64
does not return all currently mounted nfs mounts when specifying the 
command with no
command line arguments.  Specifying the df command:  df -at nfs    
works perfectly and
returns the data for all mounted nfs filesystems.

uname -a output for your reference:
Linux otw-l0 3.11.6-4-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 30 18:04:56 UTC 
2013 (e6d4a27) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

If you need further information please let me know.

Thank you,

Curtis
