OK. So with an empty filesystem, before my first copy (i.e. the base on
which the next copy will CoW from) df reports:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/btrfs--test-btrfs--test
922746880 56 922746824 1% /mnt/btrfs-test
and btrfs fi df reports:
Data: total=8.00MB, used=0.00
Metadata: total=1.01GB, used=24.00KB
System: total=12.00MB, used=4.00KB
after the first copy df and btrfs fi df report:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/btrfs--test-btrfs--test
922746880 121402328 801344552 14% /mnt/btrfs-test
root@linux:/mnt/btrfs-test# cat .snapshots/monthly.22/metadata/btrfs_df-stop
Data: total=110.01GB, used=109.26GB
Metadata: total=5.01GB, used=3.26GB
System: total=12.00MB, used=24.00KB
So it's clear that total usage (as reported by df) was 121,402,328KB but
Metadata has two values:
Metadata: total=5.01GB, used=3.26GB
What's the difference between total and used? And for that matter,
what's the difference between the total and used for Data
(total=110.01GB, used=109.26GB)?
Even if I take the largest values (i.e. the total values) for Data and
Metadata (each converted to KB first) and add them up they are:
120,607,211.52 which is not quite the 121,402,328 that df reports.
There is a 795,116.48KB discrepancy.
In any case, which value from a btrfs df fi should I be subtracting from
df's accounting to get a real accounting of the amount of data used?
Cheers,
b.
