Missing volumes in output from df -h

Greetings, Frank Redeker!

From your df, there's no "missing" volumes, all real volumes are accounted
for.
subst does not create a new volume, it just maps the drive letter to an
existing path.
(As an OT, it was a long standing Microsoft recommendation to NOT use mapped
drives, if possible. And I can see, why. It literally saved my life on one
occasion, because attacker script enumerated only drive letters.)

That's still very much understandable. It only count each volume once.
