I thought this was an interesting exercise, so I created a script for you.
Cut and paste the following into a file called , for instance, "mydf",
make it executable with chmod, and make sure it's in your path. Then you
can call it just like df with any of the df options. The one thing it
doesn't do is join the lines which were split due to the length of the
devfs device name, It would be tedious, but not too hard, to add
that. Anyway, I didn't want to overcomplicate the example.
-------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
# Purpose: Convert devfs device names in df output to legacy device names
# Invocation: mydf [DFOPTION]... [FILE]
# where DFOPTION is an option associated with the df command.

IFS=X
df $*|\
while read dfline ; do
{ echo $dfline|grep -q '^/dev/.*/host[0-9]/bus[0-9]/.*'; }\
&& eval "dfline=$(find /dev -name 'hd*' -lname ${dfline#/dev/})"
echo $dfline
done
