Fediquestion:
Can anyone explain/point me at documentation that explains what exactly btrfs means with its "allocated" and "unallocated" metrics in ``btrfs filesystem show?
All I can find is "running a balance fixedthis for me", but no explanation of why it does that or what unallocated actually means, the explanation in the manpage isn't very helpful to me.
In my case I have a btrfs on top of a single lvm volume with no btrfs-raid features enabled.
#btrfs #linux

@slatian@pleroma.envs.net There used to be an explanation in the FAQ on the wiki, but I think that got lost in the move to readthedocs (when the wiki went away). So... 1/n
