It causes `df' to print the filesystem's type.

> And why is it "important" here?

Because that's what the OP wanted: the type of the filesystem where
Emacs was going to save a file (or was it auto-save?).  A certain
type of filesystem needed a special treatment on the OP's system.

It's an extension of GNU `df'.  The OP was using a GNU/Linux system,
so I was certain his `df' had that option.  If you install GNU
Fileutils, so will yours.
