The optimal solution would be to change the code to look for the column
header indicating where the used percentage is, so that it would adjust
to changes in the column layout automatically. However, this is tricky
to get right with the variations in df output that Hobbit must handle.
IMO the percentage used is, these days, less useful.  On a 3 TB file
system, the difference between 99% and 100% isn't as useful as knowing
there are still 5 GB of storage free (or in my particular case knowing
there is at least 800 MB free).

Is there any chance of making future versions of hobbit support
reporting by the remaining free space, rather than the percentage
free?
