; Why do 'du' and 'btrfs filesystem du' totals differ? : Most likely due to inline extents. du will compute small files with a minimum 4KiB, the data block size. But the actual storage consumption of small files when inline (saved with the inode metadata in a leaf, hence inline) is quite a bit less.

Most likely due to inline extents. du will compute small files with a minimum 4KiB, the data block size. But the actual storage consumption of small files when inline (saved with the inode metadata in a leaf, hence inline) is quite a bit less.
