The first number represents the amount of data in that subvolume, regardless whether that data is shared with other subvolumes or not. The second number shows the amount of data that is unique to this subvolume and not shared with others, i.e. the amount of space that will get freed if you delete this subvolume. For how this extends to quota groups see http://sensille.com/qgroups.pdf > > - how can I verify the quota assigned to any given subvolume? I've assigned 200 MB, but how can I verify that number? The original patch set didn't include commands for that, but I think I've seen patches for it on the mailing list, though I can't find them right now. -Arne > > -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
