Btrfs: make df be a little bit more understandable
The way we report df usage is way confusing for everybody, including some other utilities (bacula for one). So this patch makes df a little bit more understandable. First we make used actually count the total amount of used space in all space info's. This will give us a real view of how much disk space is in use. Second, for blocks available, only count data space. This makes things like bacula work because it says 0 when you can no longer write anymore data to the disk. I think this is a nice compromise, since you will end up with something like the following [root@alpha ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root 148G 30G 111G 21% / /dev/sda1 194M 116M 68M 64% /boot tmpfs 985M 12K 985M 1% /dev/shm /dev/mapper/VolGroup-LogVol02 145G 140G 0 100% /mnt/btrfs-test Compare this with btrfsctl -i output [root@alpha btrfs-progs-unstable]# ./btrfsctl -i /mnt/btrfs-test/ Metadata, DUP: total=4.62GB, used=2.46GB System, DUP: total=8.00MB, used=24.00KB Data: total=134.80GB, used=134.80GB Metadata: total=8.00MB, used=0.00 System: total=4.00MB, used=0.00 operation complete This way we show that there is no more data space to be used, but we have another 5GB of space left for metadata.
