No, it's confusing. btrfs fi df doesn't show free space. The first value is 
what space the fs has allocated for the data usage type, and the 2nd value is 
how much of that allocation is actually being used. I personally think the 
allocated value is useless for mortal users. I'd rather have some idea of what 
free space I have left, and the regular df command presents this in an annoying 
way also because it shows the total volume size, not accounting for the double 
consumption of raid1. So no matter how you slice it, it's confusing.
