Gotta start using printf to cobble together complicated variables. But
in this case it's internal:
% mnt
Label: Partition: Mountpoint: Size: Free: Used: %Used:
b6-12-Deb12b sda6 / 11.7G 5.6G 5.5G 47%
b3--0-aWorking sda3 /aWorking 280.5M 157.2M 104.3M 37%
b2--0-boot sda2 /boot 188.2M 131.2M 43.0M 23%
b8--6-root1 sda8 /root 5.8G 2.4G 3.1G 53%
b11---aRay sda11 /aRay 15.6G 6.2G 8.5G 55%
b10-5-aMisc sda10 /aMisc 4.8G 4.5G 121.1M 2%
% mnt sda
Label: Partition: Mountpoint: Size: Free: Used: %Used:
b6-12-Deb12b sda6 / 11.7G 5.6G 5.5G 47%
b3--0-aWorking sda3 /aWorking 280.5M 157.2M 104.3M 37%
b2--0-boot sda2 /boot 188.2M 131.2M 43.0M 23%
b8--6-root1 sda8 /root 5.8G 2.4G 3.1G 53%
b11---aRay sda11 /aRay 15.6G 6.2G 8.5G 55%
b10-5-aMisc sda10 /aMisc 4.8G 4.5G 121.1M 2%
b5-12-Deb11a sda5 /media/sda/5 11.7G 4.2G 6.8G 58%
b7-12-Deb12c sda7 /media/sda/7 11.7G 5.6G 5.5G 47%
b9--6-root2 sda9 /media/sda/9 5.8G 2.4G 3.1G 53%
... 'findmnt' outputs nice columns so the thing is to space the 'title'
line accordingly -- it's mostly the mountpoint who's width can vary so
the spacer goes in there. Purely cosmetic.
