Could you tell me the location where you think metadata is reporting double the space? from fi us: > Metadata,single: Size:3.00GiB, Used:1.53GiB > /dev/mapper/storage2 3.00GiB from fi df: > Metadata,single: Size:3.00GiB, Used:1.53GiB > /dev/mapper/storage2 3.00GiB As far as I can see, Btrfs just allocates 3.00 GiB from /dev/mapper/storage2, Metadata,single size is the same as it (not double), and 1.53 GiB is used. The following is in my case where data is single and meta is dup. from fi us: Metadata,DUP: Size:384.00MiB, Used:221.36MiB /dev/vda3 768.00MiB from fi df: Metadata, DUP: total=384.00MiB, used=221.36MiB Here Btrfs allocates 768.0MiB from /dev/vda3 and it's twice as large as the size of Metadata,DUP(384.00MiB). I guess it means that "metadata is reporting double the space" as you said and your case it not the case. CMIIW.
