This is probably due to a corrupted /etc/mount file.  This should be fixed
when you reboot, but if it is not, go to single user mode, remove the file
and reboot the system (/etc/mount should be re-created).

df reads this file to get the list of currently mounted file systems and
then calls statfs(2) to get the space characteristics for each file system.
