df without line wrap on long FS name

alias df="df | awk 'NF == 1 {printf(\$1); next}; {print}'"

Personally I think line wrap in default df command is annoying for scripting & seeing. So I overwrite it. Maybe more work should be done if wrapped line is over 2...

-P uses the POSIX output format, which makes information on each file system always printed on exactly one line. "column -t" makes a table from the input. Show Sample Output

df -P | column -t

To be OS independent you should try df -Pk first (Linux) and if it does not work (that's the ||) then use df -k (e.g. for Solaris, HP UX, AIX). To get the output in a single line, use the additional cat.
This is sample output - yours may be different.

(df -Pk 2>/dev/null|| df -k) | cat
