Discussion on bug-coreutils but not archived due to mailman
problems.

Assuming /dev/hdc1 is not mounted nor otherwise associated
with the host. I picked it because it was unused.

df /dev/hdc1
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc1 57400768 22995112 31489860 43%

The "Mounted on" field is empty. I expect it to say "/"
for this case.

Because df normally reverse maps raw devices through the
mount table back to the filesystem this confused the user
who thought this was the value for a filesystem and not
that the filesystem was not mounted.
