RHBA-2009:1511
An updated coreutils package that fixes a regression in the df command is now available.
The coreutils package contains core GNU utilities. It is a combination of the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils,
and textutils packages.
This update fixes the following bug:

a device now works for regular users as it did previously. Note: running "df -l" to list all devices was
not affected by this bug: it worked as expected previously and continues to do so subsequent to this
