That makes much more sense from a different perspective as well.  "Disk" 
sounds so 20th-century spinning rust..., and at least to me, "du" isn't 
as intuitive or commonly used as "df", so while "df" seems natural to me, 
while I understand where "du" comes from, it still makes me go "huh?" as 
I wouldn't expect to see it in the btrfs context.

So btrfs filesystem chunk(-usage), please. =:^)
