+[[!meta title="Why doesn't df work?"]]
+
+There is no `/etc/mtab` (due to dynamic translator startup, its content is hard
+to define actually, see
+[[the mtab GSoC project idea|community/gsoc/project_ideas/mtab]]),
+so just running `df` will yield the following error.
+
+ df: cannot read table of mounted file systems
+
+Pass `df` a path like `df /` or `df ./` to see the disk usage of that particular
+file system.
