Not really, at least not if you're looking at NFS as well (which
I need to to monitor trends); I changed it locally back in 2003:

*** 246,252 ****
   # wusel, 20030701: "-kl" shows only local mount, "-k" all
   #
   #   @df=`/bin/df -kl`;
!    @df=`/bin/df -k`;
      for ($i=1,$j=0;$df[$i];$i++)  {
         if (!(($df[$i]=~/cdrom/)||($df[$i]=~/cdrom/))) {
          chomp $df[$i];
--- 274,280 ----
   # wusel, 20030701: "-kl" shows only local mount, "-k" all
   #
   #   @df=`/bin/df -kl`;
!    @df=`/bin/df -k --portability`;
      for ($i=1,$j=0;$df[$i];$i++)  {
         if (!(($df[$i]=~/cdrom/)||($df[$i]=~/cdrom/))) {
          chomp $df[$i];

Does the trick as well:

I'd suggest to maybe limit the output, though. Not sure, but I think
to remember to have hacked in the Orca sources back in 2003 to limit
the output at least in the summary table below the graphs. Not sure
if it works with current Orca out of the box.

HTH,
