info df contains:
With the same logic, `df' elides a mount entry of a dummy pseude
device if there is another mount entry of a real block device for that
mount point with the same device number, e.g. the early-boot pseudo
file system `rootfs' is not shown per default when already the real
root device has been mounted.
"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
