df and du cannot be trusted to provide the correct values with certain file systems. BTRFS and ZFS come to mind.  But they are great for xfs, ext2/3/4, f2fs and a number of other native Linux file systems.

Some handy aliases:

alias df='df -h'alias dft='df -hT -x squashfs -x tmpfs -x devtmpfs'alias du='du -h'
