What is a software mount point?
You can add an entry in /etc/mtab with your mount point. df will then do a
"statfs" on it, which will yield the free disk space on that partition, or
it's parent (if it's a normal directory and not its own partition)
e.g. the entry
foo /home/anders/Documents ext3 rw 0 0
makes df print out
foo 78937896 58694580 16233492 79%
/home/anders/Documents
Note that the file system must be a valid one (and not 'none'), or it will
be ignored by df
Note also that this may have unforeseen consequences, in that some tools
use mtab to see which partitions are available, and this may well cause
headaches at some future point. I can't think of anything at the moment,
but it is something to bear in mind

Anders,
This is the method I'm using, but is there anyway to make it into fstab, so
that it's automaticlly written to mtab and shows when I do a df?
Otherwise, I have to re-add on reboot. or umount / mount ..
Thanks.
Ben
