The addition of spaces didn't help much, I see. Let's see what spacing
with periods does:

mint@mint ~ $ df -h
Filesystem ...... Size .... Used .... Avail .... Use%
................... Mounted on
/cow ............. 497M ..... 54M ... 443M ..... 11%
................................... /
udev ............. 487M ..... 4.0K ... 487M ....... 1%
.............................. /dev
tmpfs ............ 100M .... 1.3M ..... 99M ....... 2%
.............................. /run
/dev/sda ........ 1.3G ..... 1.3G ......... 0 .... 100%
......................... /cdrom
/dev/loop0 ..... 1.3G .... 1.3G .......... 0 .... 100%
............................ /rofs
none ............... 4.0K ........ 0 ...... 4.0K ....... 0%
............. /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs ............. 497M .... 4.0K .... 497M ...... 1%
............................. /tmp
none ............... 5.0M ......... 0 ..... 5.0M ....... 0%
...................... /run/lock
none .............. 497M ...... 76K ... 497M ....... 1%
...................... /run/shm
none .............. 100M ...... 36K ... 100M ....... 1%
...................... /run/user
/dev/sdc1 ........ 15G ..... 6.6G .... 8.4G ...... 44% ..
/media/mint/USB20FD
mint@mint ~ $

and

cfdisk (util-linux 2.20.1)

Disk Drive: /dev/sda
Size: 15610576896 bytes, 15.6 GB
Heads: 64 Sectors per Track: 32 Cylinders: 14887

Name ...... Flags ......... Part Type ... FS Type
....................... [Label] ..... Size (MB)
----------------------------------------------------------
sda1 ........ Boot, NC ... Primary ...... iso9660 .... [Linux Mint
17 MA] .... 1325.41
................................... Pri/Log ...... Free Space
.................................. 14285.18*
