+They are tmpfs filesystems, which by definition means they exist in ram
+only.
+
+The rootfs and the /dev/sd?? entry both show up due to the way systemd
+does the chroot rather then the pivot method used by sysvinit scripts.
+
+The devtmpfs, is the in ram copy of /dev.
+
+The /run tmpfs is a mountpoint/directory used by systemd to store info
+ from before the root filesystem is mounted, and is also used for removable
+media mountpoints in some cases.
+
+The cgroup tmpfs mountpoint is used by the kernel and systemd for keeping
+track of which processes belong to which group.
+
+To exclude them from df output, pipe it through grep like ...
+df 2&gt;/dev/null|grep -v -e tmpfs -e rootfs -e gvfs-fuse
