coreutils's "df" supports "-x/--exclude-type" option that might help.

For example, the following will cause 'df' to skip tmpfs and devtmpfs 
filesystems, and also show only local systems (e.g. skip NFS):

     df -l -x tmpfs -x devtmpfs

You can adjust it to your liking with more "-x" options.

Creating an alias is an easy way to have a way to display only information you 
use frequently:

    alias mydf='df -l -x tmpfs -x devtmpfs'

"mount" is not part of coreutils, but of util-linux ( 
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git ).
With the proliferation of filesystem types and mount types (e.g. bind-mounts), it's worth 
mentioning "findmnt" (also from util-linux) that can provide additional 
information.
