btrfs quota examples?
I'm trying to use btrfs quotas, but I'm unable to find reliable documentation on its usage.
Let's start with an empty subvolume:
- assign 200 MB space to it:
# btrfs qgroup limit 200m /mnt/btrfs-backup/tester/
- see the usage:
# btrfs qgroup show /mnt/btrfs-backup/tester/ 0/803 0 0
- let's add a 100 MB file:
# dd if=/dev/urandom of=bigfile bs=1M count=100
- sync the FS to make sure quota is updated:
# btrfs filesystem sync /mnt/btrfs-backup/ FSSync '/mnt/btrfs-backup/'
- see current quota usage:
# btrfs qgroup show /mnt/btrfs-backup/backuppc/tester/ 0/803 104882176 104882176
Now, my questions:
- what do both 104882176 104882176 numbers represent?
- how can I verify the quota assigned to any given subvolume? I've assigned 200 MB, but how can I verify that number?

- what do both 104882176 104882176 numbers represent?
The first number represents the amount of data in that subvolume, regardless whether that data is shared with other subvolumes or not.
The second number shows the amount of data that is unique to this subvolume and not shared with others, i.e. the amount of space that will get freed if you delete this subvolume.
For how this extends to quota groups see http://sensille.com/qgroups.pdf

The original patch set didn't include commands for that, but I think I've seen patches for it on the mailing list, though I can't find them right now.

Both numbers are bytes, correct?

Yeah, We have sent the patch-set for a long time.

I've played with qgroups for some time, but the results are rather inconsistent.
I.e. here - what does a negative number represent in 0/1181 row?
# btrfs qgroup show /mnt/lxc2 0/260 151490953216 151490953216 0/261 180969472 180969472 0/262 155557888 983040 0/377 180310016 25776128 0/378 304088072192 304088072192 0/535 571944960 417370112 0/536 68550987776 68550987776 0/642 247463936 92921856 0/1175 617213952 827392 0/1181 16112013312 -22184235008 0/1268 38296248320 0 0/1269 616386560 0 0/1270 4096 4096 0/1271 4096 4096

Either you have turned on qgroups after filling the subvol with some data, or you've managed to produce a tracking error. In that case, we would be interested how you did that and how to reproduce it.
