The DF plugin collects file system usage information, i. e. basically how much space on a mounted partition is used and how much is available. It's named after and very similar to the df(1) UNIX command that's been around forever.

However, not all "partitions" are of interest. For example /proc and /dev usually don't get filled and their "size" doesn't make a lot of sense. That's why the DF plugin offers to select only specific devices, mount points or filesystem types.
