Possibly, but then I am certainly guilty of using df(1) for these purposes, and
I know of many experienced sysadmins that are the same. I'd wager most
google-able advice on the matter would suggest df(1).
mount(8) and findmnt(8) [new, and very nice] are more appropriate for this
task.
Perhaps, but their manpage sections strongly imply they aren't as
generally-useful/usable as df(1), to an ordinary user. (sysadmin tools? here be
dragons!)
