how to check free/used storage of btrfs
cross-posted from: https://programming.dev/post/12030162
While checking for used and free space in a btrfs subvolume, I'm not getting a consistent value. It's confusing and doesn't help.
- What is the correct way to find used/free space?
- Why are these values inconsistent (except normal du)?
According to
btrfs fi usage /home
, 83.21 GiB is used.Overall: Device size: 149.98GiB Device allocated: 100.07GiB Device unallocated: 49.91GiB Device missing: 0.00B Device slack: 0.00B Used: 83.21GiB Free (estimated): 63.06GiB (min: 38.10GiB) Free (statfs, df): 63.06GiB Data ratio: 1.00 Metadata ratio: 2.00 ...
As per
btrfs fi df /home
, used space is 82.86 GiB, not 83.21 GiB.Data, single: total=96.01GiB, used=82.86GiB System, DUP: total=32.00MiB, used=16.00KiB Metadata, DUP: total=2.00GiB, used=178.61MiB GlobalReserve, single: total=99.50MiB, used=0.00B
As per
btrfs fi du -s /home
, used space is 63.11 GiB.Total Exclusive Set shared Filename 63.11GiB 13.64GiB 49.01GiB /home
While according to
du -hs /home
, 64GiB is used.
Also, maximum space used should be close to 72 GiB as per
btrfs fi du -s /
and 73 GiB as perdu -hs /
, ifbtrfs fi usage
includes all subvolumes . '/home' and '/' are on separate subvolumes.
