I think I understand all of it, including just 123G instead of
300 - 175 = 125 GiB "Avail" in df -hT.

But why 175 GiB "Used" in 'df -hT' when just 173.91GiB (see 'btrfs fi sh')
is allocated *within* the block group / chunks?

Does this have something to do with that global reserve thing?

Thank you,
Hi,

I do not think global reserve should be counted in 'df' output, but it does count all unallocated space, even if some of that space will be used up by metadata chunks. Isn't the discrepancy the metadata allocated vs used?

I made a post a little while ago on this subject, on how to improve the space calculations if any one if interested in picking this up? I believe the space calculation is wrong in all of the df/btrfs df/btrfs us tools.
