Missing Space - BTRFS Balance is the Answer?
Hello. I have a 2 TB nvme mounted as a subvol that contains dockervols. I recently noticed this discrepancy df -h | grep nvme0n1p1 /dev/nvme0n1p1 1.9T 1.3T 569G 70% /data vs. sudo du -h -d 0 /data 1.1T /data I tried using the btdu tool but I am not sure if I had it installed correctly as it didn't show the output like the examples shown on the github (https://github.com/CyberShadow/btdu)

Space allocation
If you want to diagnose where you think there may be space used up that you don't quite understand, then btrfs fi du and third party tools btdu and compsize are useful.

Disk usage after large deletion
And btdu to get an overall impressions of where space is being used if the above isn't useful enough.
