you need to install an Add-on for Linux and modify/copy its df.sh script, change

CMD='df -TPh'

to

CMD='df -TPhi'

you can remove -h parameter too.

Output will be:

Filesystem   Type              Size        Used       Avail      UsePct    MountedOn
/dev/sda1   ext4               57G         19G         35G         36%    /

and without -h:

Filesystem    Type              Size        Used       Avail      UsePct    MountedOn
/dev/sda1    ext4           7627488      104349     7523139          2%    /

you can modify the FORMAT and HEADER variables in df.sh further to show Inodes/IUsed/IFree/IUse% instead of Size/Used/Avail/UsePct
