>Description:

df(1) always pretends success.  Only if a usage: string is displayed,
it returns 1 into the environment, but 0 in all other cases.  This
makes it impossible for shell scripts to test for the actual success,
and know whether they can trust the result or not.


>How-To-Repeat:

j@ida 447% df -k /dev/rsd1s1e
df: /dev/rsd1s1e: No such file or directory
j@ida 448% echo $status
0
