One could also add redirection of stderr to null ( 2>/dev/null) to get rid of complaint about not being able to read table of mounted filesystems.
(BTW, no brownie points for me this time: instead of alias I made a
script that symlinked /etc/mtab, run df, than unlinked it again. Hardly elegant and does not work with filesystems mounted RO. Thanks for reminded me aliases existed (needless to say, my profiles and rcs that got migrated and bloated from system so system over the years have hundreds of aliases and short shell functions, and yet I wrote a damned script!)
).
