I've just spent an hour or so on this and I'm kind of curious too.  The df -t 
from SUSv3 and the df -t from gnu aren't on speaking terms, they do 
completely different things.

In the gnu df, "-t" limits the listing to filesystems of a given type, and in 
SUSv3 it's "Include total allocated-space figures in the output".  Of course 
in SUSv3 it's an XSI extension (which also insists that df should list the 
number inodes), so I suspect the answer is "screw the spec, we're modeling 
the gnu behavior instead"...

Right.  (Also, if the same block device shows up in multiple places, I should 
probably filter it out from the list of totals...)
