We're running out of terms to describe and distinguish the space that the filesystem uses. Here's what we have already: - used - allocated - reserved - total 'occupied' seemed like a good choice to me, though it may be not obvious at first. The rationale behind is to denote space that the filesystem can potentially use on the device - in one word. > Can I suggest "Resized to:" instead of "FS occupied:", and to show it > only when the two values differ ?

'Resized to' sounds good to me and makes sense in the context of the output: /dev/sda6, ID: 2 Device size: 10.00GiB Resized to: 5.00GiB Data,RAID10: 512.00MiB Metadata,RAID10: 512.00MiB System,RAID10: 4.00MiB Unallocated: 9.00GiB The next point, display only if it's different from size. This makes calculating the filesystem size conditional and if eg. I filter the output I can't simply do 'grep -i occupied'. The points against that are that this makes the output longer and the resized devices are probably not the most common scenario. So as a compromise, we can add an option to enable more verbose output. -- 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
