parse the output and junk the first line?

I'm no subprocess expert, but a bit of playing about suggests this would
work:

from subprocess import Popen, PIPE

df = Popen('df -P', shell=True, stdout=PIPE)

no_header = df.stdout.readlines()[1:]

I'm sure there are more elegant ways to do this, but it does work.

tuning the df -P command to only give you the device your are interested 
in should reduce the output a little more.
