## df by mountpoint works
$ df -h /
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3.0T 799M 3.0T 1% /

## This is different from the non-minimzed image which would show /dev/sda1 instead
$ df -h /dev/root
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 3.0T 799M 3.0T 1% /

$ df -h /dev/sda1
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
